The sparrows have been gone for a while. There was plenty of seeds out there for them to eat. Now the frost is shutting down that natural feeding and the snow will do that eventually. They will then all be back at the feeder. The birds are in the shade in the photo and the glow of the fence shows the sun is shinning today.
A new shiny bright ready for the tree. A homemade hanger from a paper clip when in a pinch.
The trains use to sit around in a box most of the year and I was glad to dig them out and display them around the base of some of the Christmas trees. It just didn’t happen this year.
That which is different this year is the trains all have a home now sitting on display year round. It was a major project to build it with one false start. Having torn the design completely apart, the final design did work out great. We watched the movie “The Polar Express”last night and it reminded me of my old trains. The movie itself spent a lot of time showing all of the parts of an old steam engine and the passenger cars. The movie has become one or out traditional things to watch each Christmas.
In the movie the era of the train, the engine was older but they didn’t have a caboose. They had their last car be a streamlined designed smoking car. I have never seen a replica of a smoking car but I guess I have never searched for one.
The end of the year is getting close. We will head to church on Christmas eve and hope our weather doesn’t shut us down. Rain turning to snow can be a dangerous time on the roads. We have no snow at this point even though we did have in November. We venture out this morning for Sunday School and will stay away from the mad shopping areas. Tomorrow we finish up our shopping and for times of rest and relaxation. Thank your for stopping by today.

Your trains are displayed so nicely in the case:) Hope you get that rest and relaxation time!
Hi Larry, it was great to see your train display and thanks for the comment you left on our blog about the holiday village and trains. Grenville did have fun setting it this year and we’ve added a couple of new buildings and figures and keep moving them around the village as well. We also watched The Polar Express this week as it’s one of our holiday favorites any I liked the hot cocoa scene and when the train slip around in the ice. Hope you don’t get any nasty weather as it’s best to be home for a white Christmas. Merry 🌲Christmas from our home 🏠 to yours.
