The sun is bright and the morning clear and cool. Now the orange glow of dawn shines through the rows of trees and outlines the ridge above us. Before, the forest would keep the house in shadow until mid morning. The sky has opened up and so too the forest. Along the road we find homes and other structures that were previously invisible.

I have fed the dogs, cats and horses. With the pasture now at rest, I must provide oats and hay daily. The lawn growth has slowed too, but I will have to mow a time or two more. As glorious as is this homestead, I itch to get back on the road. Enough of these daily chores.

This article from the NY Times talks about the new development in Rahway that has Mike and Sam excited.

Using a newly renovated train station as its centerpiece, the mayor’s huge project includes more than 1,500 rental and condominium homes to be built over the next three years, and rows of restaurants and shops, some already springing up on streets newly lighted with Victorian lamps.

The new Rahway will be a pedestrian-oriented, distinctly upscale commuter mecca, sort of the Hoboken of Union County, according to the plans.
