A number of people have complimented me on the beautiful railroad growing near my house.  They've asked me, "How can I grow my own railroad at home?"  Well, you'll be glad to know that I will soon be offering a kit for sale so you can do just that!

Honey and Bee's "Grow Your Own Railroad" kit!

Or maybe I should stick to miniatures.

Jack and Stephen (and Sarah and I) just got back from a lovely trip.  The highlights were the big huge historic Biltmore House and estate, and hiking to lots of waterfalls (lots being 3 or 4 or 7 or something.)  The boys had never had a vacation before, and they were SO excited!  They got rather dirty and bruised, and Jack lost a little gold braid, but ehh, that's inevitable.  And it made me glad that I'd never gotten around to making Stephen a proper waistcoat.  Proper clothes just don't suit his naturalist habits.
