Weather: low 58 degrees, high 87 degrees, clear skies
The place where I walk in the mornings has a lot of yellow honeysuckle plants blooming at the current time. Ummmm, what a great scent!
When we were in Fayette yesterday, I took some pictures of their old train depot. The first train to come through Fayette was in 1890. The last trains to come through Fayette were in the spring of 1996 and were believed by many residents living nearby to be Ghost Trains as they came through in the middle of the night and had been rerouted through Fayette bound for Mississippi due to track repairs on the current route. 
At this time, there is no train service to Fayette. The train depot is being refurbished for use as a tourist attraction. Even though the depot has not been used for several years, I could see that the town has an asset that can be used to their advantage if the right vision is developed for it's use. It felt strange to see a fully functional train depot with no sign of railroad tracks. Unfortunately, I was unable to take any pictures inside because it was closed.We have not had much opportunity to ride trains in our lives, but the few times we did, we enjoyed it. When we were in New York, we took the train from Fishkill to the city (New York) several times. What a great experience. We rode alongside the Hudson River, seeing the beauty along that waterway. We passed through old towns that we had heard about in history and legend. And the best thing about the experience was that I could sit back and enjoy the ride, instead of having to be alert while driving. We need to do that more.
We didn't do much today. I read the Sunday newspaper, which is about the only day of the week that I look at a newspaper anymore. In the evening, I put some wax on about one-third of the truck. And that was about it for today. Just a slow Sunday rest day.
More later, be safe.
