Good Morning All. Happy Easter. Here it's cloudy and 59° but only going up to 71° due to the clouds. NWS is still predicting 80°+ beginning on Tuesday for a week or so. I finally got the last few straggling tomato plants into the ground yesterday, that's 42 of them total. I've been picking lettuce and arugula for about two weeks, and radishes started yesterday. Meanwhile out of the herb garden in the pots on the back porch, I picked a whole bunch of Italian Parsley that is now hanging up to dry. Some will be used this morning as I am already preparing my infamous Italian Pasta Salad to take to my daughter's home for Easter lunch. It was a special request made with gluten-free pasta, multi-colored bell pepper varieties, cubed-up Mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, black olives, red onion, grape tomatoes, grated Parmesan, various spices and homemade Italian dressing. Yummy, yummy, yummy!
Hello Flo. For me the traditional Easter morning breakfast is Eggs Benedict with a Mimosa to sip on. I still remember my Mom in the kitchen making eight portions of it for Dad and all of us as kids. All of the time, Dad was hovering over her to "assure" that she poached the eggs right. That's one reason that his was first, to get him out of the kitchen. It was the only day of the year that we ate
breakfast in the formal dining room. And yes! He read the newspaper while eating Sunday morning breakfast.
Thanks for the likes and other comments regarding the layout scenery progress yesterday;

I did not visit the train shed yesterday, and I will not visit today unless we get home early. So there is nothing new to report. I am a bit busy now, so no more pictures for a few days
Guy!
Guy - No complaints here regarding the pictures of the real thing. I can no longer get close-up shots of equipment for modeling purposes. I can railfan from very close if needed, but the trains are all moving at 50 mph along the main line. The gondola yesterday was excellent; that's one railcar type that hasn't changed at all since going to metal 75 years ago.
Troy - Too bad about the vaccine reaction. Wife and I were fortunate; not only were we able to go together to get our shots on the same days, all we had were sore shoulders typical of any other vaccine. It was a 50 mile round trip entirely within our county.
Again, Happy Easter everyone. Have a safe and joyous day.
