Sunday news (Or, "Where there's a Will ...")

Kirstin and Jason got married yesterday, and although I haven't heard any details, I assume it was lovely, and I hope they and their new family will be happy.

We had three deer in the backyard this morning. It was bright and sunny then, but now (about 5:00 p.m.) it is gray, windy and raw. It is sleeting a little, and it looks like the predicted snow flurries for tonight may materialize.

Oh, joy!

Today was the last steam train of the year at the railway. From here on in -- which is just weekends into the beginning of December, when we expect the weather to render it impossible to take the trains out again until next spring -- we will be running the diesel.

One of the volunteers (who is an MD in his regular life) showed up today to act as conductor. He brought his son, Will, who comes dressed up as a miniature conductor and helps his dad out. Here is a video of them from a year or so ago. I had found this online, but Will had never seen it. So I got in on the computer in the store so he could watch it. You should have seen him light up.
