It hasn’t been my intention for the weather to monopolize a few post topics lately, but these cloudy and dreary days just don’t provide the best environment for a photo opportunity!

Weather is wonderfully both non-permanent and uncontrollable. The past 5 days have given the Roanoke area plenty to like, and also not like so much, about the previous statement.

My lawn needs mowing but I wasn’t about to take on that endeavor this past weekend. There’s just something wrong with having to fight the cold and wear a jacket in order to comfortably cut grass.

But that’s life in the Valley, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

And anyways we’ve come this far, and we’ve been given a glimpse of what is to come. Here are a couple of those glimpses from last week that didn’t quite make the final cut for a previous post.
