Man we love it. The snow makes us crazy, and it has been driving us crazy to hear how much of the white stuff is hitting our old stomping grounds of Roanoke. Roanoke of all places! So when we were delivered a blanket of 5 inches, Josh and I were out at a nearby park, setting the cross country track for anyone else who happened to have a pair of skis to put to use. The conditions were perfect, and we made our way around the park four times, responding to people's remarks along the way. One man in particular joked, "You ain't from around here, are you." Another woman told me that they have not had snow like this in 14 years. Sigh.
The following day we headed out to our friend Scott's farm to do a bit of skiing the corn (phrase we picked up from a skier out in West Virginia, referencing snow that is almost too thin to ski) and afterward feasted on ribs (my first time eating them in maybe 16 years?). It was a wonderful weekend, that went by much too quickly. I woke early Monday for work and either felt the very drowsy effects of pregnancy, or was experiencing the Monday blues, as I tried to focus on the work at hand.
