Brr....

Most of the time when I talk about weather on here it is either because it is bloody hot or fiercely raining or slightly less than bloody hot...not today.  It is chilly here in NC...I just got back from a walk in the blustery 29 degree Fahrenheit weather.  I know...I know...all my midwestern family and friends are laughing at me that I consider 29 degrees cold...  Let's remember that I now live 1 degree off of the equator so when I thought my blood had thinned a little by moving to NC...it has completely thinned now!  However, to be fair to myself and my walking pal - we totally stuck it out and walked a good distance with only minor commentary when the wind snuck up on us a bit.

On another note, last week Alan and I went to Pittsboro, NC to play with our cameras (you can see some of the photos in my Flickr photo stream on the right side of the blog).  We went to the rail yard for New Hope Valley Railroad.  They have some amazing trains that they have restored.  They also have a rail cat that greeted us immediately upon our arrival.  He followed us around up until some people stopped to walk their dog.  The shot below is where the cat stopped after the dog tried to chase him...seemed appropriate...
