Garden Railway is life : Life is beautiful

In 5,000 words of less describe your best garden railway experience.  Me first:-

 This afternoon I installed outdoor speakers on my Garage above the railway.  I then plugged them in to my old stereo and put a nature sounds CD on.  As the sun set I set my Shay running with it's sound system on, grabbed a beer and sat back and enjoyed the sound and light show until it was too dark to see.  I thought to myself...Life is good.

Ok here is mine:

It was a bout two weeks ago when I was preparing my mom's garden for the construction phase of my garden railway (of course with her permission!) It was humid and 85 degrees and I was very hot and tired, but when I stood back and looked at all my hardwork, I envisioned how nice my arrow gauge railroad would look in the garden. That's when I really thought about how great this hobby truly is with all the fun you have, even if it is hard work. - Peter
