Good morning all, I hope your weekend is going like you planned and you've left time to work on your railroad. For me, my railroad is still packed in boxes. No room to do anything and so I'm leaving things that way until we find a place to move to. Let's hope we find what we want soon.
We've gone from well above normal temps to below normal in just a few weeks. It seems like we had to A/C on early last week, and the furnace on by the end of the week. Some areas here are into the 30's in the morning, and we haven't gotten out of the 60's for a while now. For us, that' equivalent to being below zero, but for our snowbirds, they're still walking around in shorts and flip-flops. After you've been here a few years, you tend to break out the fleece-lined jackets with the faux-fur collars that you brought with you when you migrated from up north. Speaking of migration, our small lakes around golf courses and subdivisions now have our seasonal flocks of ducks and long neck geese. They hang around to raise their chicks and go away sometime around May, along with those others that have flocked here in their motorhomes from up that way too.... I don't know if they go together, but it's always neat to see a flock of long-necks taking off and heading to another lake somewhere and going by to land in one nearby. Yet another perk for living in this area this time of the year.
