Well, today things were different – nothing fell into place. Usually my timing is pretty good trying to tie my walk and Providence & Worcester train NR-2 together. No such luck today, though. But I did get a little walk in, and also caught a pair of Amtrak regionals crossing […]
Spring has finally sprung around southeastern Connecticut. The leaves have all sprouted, and everthing is looking nice and green of late. Today I decided to take my walk around the Mill Cove area in Ledyard to take in some of the greenery, and of coursse use it as a backdrop […]
