Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Back to railroading.  I've been gone for way too long.

Real life got in the way, and I think I saw the freight train coming right after the new year.  Wife got a bee in her bonnet to do some renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms, I had the usual outdoor work to do (always heavy lifting in the spring) at Mount Morris (4 acres that I've spent way too much effort landscaping).  I'll pick up my last (of around 25) load of mulch or compost from the county landfill on Friday.

Golf season is in (ha ha) full swing and I'm being pulled in quite a few different directions. I don't mind the madness, but it has definitely meant that absolutely nothing can be reported on progress in the Lehigh Valley Gorge until late last night and earlier this afternoon, when I added some token "puffball" trees to the turn in the gorge near the (removed for renovations) railroad bridge just south of White Haven.  A picture of that (the ends of the push pins clue you into where the new work is taking place, the scenery there is so steep that I have to secure each clump with a pin while the glue dries):

   

And a casual shot through the town of White Haven during the dog days of summer.  My guess is that I'll be spending more of the hot days down here in the basement, and I'll be spending more time with my Big Blue brethren.
