Critter

On our way to dinner last night, Peter was surprised at the sight of some sand hill cranes in a field. They are fairly common around here, but being big birds, they do catch your attention.

On the way home, I saw a pea hen (pictured) alongside the road. I don't know if there are peacocks around somewhere, but this was an interesting sighting.

Schools have started in most of the surrounding states, and business at the railroad was waaaay down today. After Labor Day, we will only be open on Saturdays and Sundays and only until 4:00 PM. I am looking forward to it!
