This week until now has been a bit cooler than normal during the overnight and early morning hours in Roanoke. Well, of course not so cold as to leave frost on my car windshield or anything of that order, just has been slightly out of the comfort zone for this time of the year.

But, I expect that we’ll make up for it in the coming weeks and months like we always seem to do. The wait for summer with full-time warmth and sunshine is getting less and less everyday.

In fact, as I write this after having just been outside, it’s a much milder morning already.

Now, for some other recent posts of interest from neighboring blogs.

This Is Country (May 6, 2008). Roanoke RnR writes about the idea that this city and area can be (and usually is) considered very much country at heart. (@ Roanoke RnR)

A Saturday Market (May 7, 2008). Rebecca again provides some still-frames from a previous day’s experience on the City Market, where she sells her own homemade soaps. After viewing this post I could almost hear the sounds of downtown myself. (@ On the Market)

A Sunrise from Another Day (May 11, 2008). David writes about the recent temperatures here in Roanoke. And he mentions that even though we may have experienced some cooler Spring mornings than we’d like the past several days, there are certainly even less appealing alternatives.
