Watching the train
A drizzly Saturday morning before our breakfast at the Chuck Wagon, Nokesville, Virginia. Right on time, the Amtrak Crescent sped through the crossing, en route from New Orleans to New York. It’s a 1,300-mile journey which could take almost 20 hours to drive, but takes only 30 hours (with 32 stops) by train. The price is $152. This is the same route which suffered last night’s 100 mph crash in Philadelphia, although that was an electric train from Washington to New York. I don’t suppose the trains through Nokesville go faster than 50 mph.

Unchained (really)
Our run-through before the 50s gala: we were doing the Unchained Melody arrangement done by the Acoustix, whose performance can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REujbffsNQM.
Happy Mayday
The mayapple plants popped up over the last ten days or so, and today I noticed the first blooms. But you have to bend down a long way to get a photo.
