After I finished updating the membership list at the railroad this morning, Tom took me out for a ride on the little electric car. This is a small car they use for work details, and it is not much more than a bench that runs on the rails. It is a totally different experience of the trip, because there is nothing between you and the scenery. We didn't see any deer, but we saw a pileated woodpecker going and coming. And lots of violets and ferns starting to poke up.
Meanwhile, the forsythia outside my bedroom window is beginning to bloom. A bit scraggly, but it adds some yellow notes where not long ago all was brown and gray.
Peggy offered to give Tom a bunch of monkey puzzle flowers (violas?)-- they look like miniature pansies to me -- for the bed he has extended in front of the house. She says she has a gazillion of them and that they are impossible to get rid of. We'll see. It will add some color and variety.
