Today I had an early day off from work.
The sun was shining, the weather lovely, and I do so enjoy a good summer's day car drive.
So, by whim of the wind, I convinced my home-bound family members to go on a drive with me out to the old railroad track and bridge Mrs. P had shown me on one of our outings.
It was pretty country and a very pleasant little excursion.

The boys explored under the bridge.
Can you get a feel for how high it was?

A wee bit windy. |

We came home with a trunk full of rocks, a couple railroad spikes, and these pictures. Hope you enjoyed 'em!

I had to chuckle about the 'trunk full of rocks'. I am guilty too. Who can resist? What about when it is raining and they all look so bright and shiny? Pockets get filled to capacity and one has to say 'don' t look at the ground.....don't look at the ground!'
ReplyDeleteHaha-- you made me laugh! It is true! :)
