Marie and I packed up the car this morning and went to take a hike on a newly-paved rail trail near her. It was an Ontario and Western connector line. Nicely plowed and the sun had melted it clear. No snow pants needed! We wore jackets and gloves, but no extra layers on the legs. It was a welcome hint of a warmer season.
At one point we could see this other railroad bridge over Esopus Creek. I think it used to be New York Central, but I wasn't able to verify that just now.
Then we continued on our way. Most of my Philadelphia skyline pictures aren't good because they were taken from moving vehicles on the expressway. This one is no exception, but it proves we made it.
And here we are! Rachel, David, Marie and me. A smaller than usual gathering at flower show time, but that's OK!
We are doing the show on Monday so there will actually be a couple of calm days here. I'm ready for that.
We did manage to get in a decent walk. 3.7 miles.

Sounds like a good day. Enjoy the flower show.
