Blue paint bleeding through the black belies the heritage of Fore River Transportation's B23-7 101 which was built in Jul. 1979 as Conrail 1992.

The crew has just begun their day with their first move being a run from the shop over to pull outbound cars that Twin Rivers' trackmobile had shoved out of the plant down Wharf Street and out under the Fore River drawbridge which rises above and beyond the train.

Fore River Railroad is the underlying owner of the 2 1/2 mile long railroad and holds the common carrier obligations for the line, but operation of it is contracted out. In the late 80s and through the 90s the line was operated by the Quincy Bay Terminal, an affiliate of New Hampshire's New England Southern, but in 2000 FRVT took over. FRVT is a Class III railroad owned by its largest customer, Twin Rivers Technology LLC, a manufacturer of industrial inorganic chemicals (rendering of glycerin, fatty acids). Twin Rivers purchased the former Proctor & Gamble soap plant in 1994 and in 2007 the company was purchased by FGV a Malaysian Global Agribusiness company that was originally and arm of the Malaysian government agency FELDA but was taken public in 2012.

It made me sad to wake up to the news of another senseless violent attack this morning in Brussels.

My heart and thoughts go out to all affected!

Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding Hearts were part of everyone's gardens when I was growing up. Not seen so often now, but always bloom in this particular location.

Lamprocapnos spectabilis (bleeding heart or Asian bleeding-heart) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae, native to Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan. It is valued in gardens and in floristry for its heart-shaped pink and white flowers, borne in spring. Other common names include "lyre flower" and "lady-in-a-bath. With thanks to Wikipedia and the RHS website

MY THANKS TO ALL WHO VISIT AND COMMENT IT IS APPRECIATED

This year they have lots of lovely blooms. Perhaps because I removed a huge Oat Grass from directly in front of this plant... or, maybe it is the type of weather so far... who knows with plants. Gardening is a guessing game most of the time.

This is one of the many photos I took.. trying to get some interesting views of the blooms... bleeding hearts all look a bit "x" rated to me.... What would Freud say about me??

My bleeding hearts plant - or Dicentra - is putting on a good show again this April. Love these plants and the flowers they produce. The evening sun catches ours and lights up all the little hearts.

Our garden is bursting with color and these Bleeding Hearts are always so lovely!

The Bleeding Hearts are now blooming. I used a ShadowHouse Creations and a Jennyw47 texture.
