A view around mile 2.5 of the Heritage Trail.

The trail is an old railroad which has been turned into a trail through the Rails To Trails program.

The old telephone poles are slowly succumbing to nature.

Further down the trail...

...not much is left of the old telephone wires.

The sun is beginning to set and the temperature is dropping fast.

In a few short months I'll be cycling down this trail surrounded with green berry bushes, willow, poplar trees and Spring flowers.

Just a reminder of where I parked today. It can be so hard to remember some days.

Its raining tonight and the building lights on the frozen pond outside my window reflected into my office telling me it's time to go home.

Tonight I added some finishing touches on a box which protects the cords controlling the scoreboard in the Hilliard Bradley High School Gym.

Dinner is over, the kitchen is clean; time for a cup of hot cocoa and a few chapters of my current book.

Brandon and I often putter in the workshop; today its electronics and we are scavenging components from old electronics and soldering them into new, albeit useless, contraptions.

Added a few new kettlebells to our fitness equipment. We traded in some old gear we were not using for some weights I have been wanting for several months now.

Days like today are why I don't winterize the scooters. The roads were dry and the temperature was in the 40s so I took a quick ride to charge the battery and keep the fluids flowing.

This is Caitlyn away at Watkins Memorial. She had another great game tonight. I'll have to check the paper for her stats since I never can keep track while taking photos.

Just after a steal, she dribbled down for an easy lay-up...

... and another 2 points.

She's always looking for a rebound.

There was a light fog last night which coated many of the trees and plants with a thin coating of rime.

This is the current quilt above our fireplace mantel. It changes with the seasons as does the kids current trophies. Whenever they get a new trophy, it goes on the mantel and the old one goes on their shelves. Funny, I just noticed a stray Christmas decoration next to the picture of Cindy's and my first house on Franklin Ave.

As I was making waffles for the family this morning, I glanced out of the window as the sun was rising and was struck by how the snow crystals caught the sunrise.
