Beautiful couple of days by the river, albeit a bit cold. On Sunday we split into two groups of two for our weekly walk. Our younger son and I walked the CSX tracks, while my wife took our other son for a hike to neighboring properties. Seeing a big freight train up close running at full throttle is exhilarating.
We rendezvoused at the green bridge where we were met by a pack of feral cats. After enjoying our gifted beef jerky, the smallest cat proceeded to lunge through the air at one of the boys.
The weekly visits are slowly becoming bi-weekly with winter upon us. During this trip we returned the mower to storage following its first annual service in years. Later we cracked some walnuts, made a fire, planted some plum saplings, and lit firecrackers.
