Seems like in past years that the months of January and February just drag on. Apparently 2010 is going to be different. Here we are already in March and it seems like it was just Christmas. The weather around here (and everywhere else it seems) has been crazy. We get snow and then 60 degrees - seems like we will never figure out what coat, if any, is needed for outside.
It snowed the Friday before Valentine's Day but on Sunday (Valentine's Day) it warmed up enough for us to go for a 3.5 mile hike in Paris Mountain State Park. It was a little snowy and icy but still beautiful. We have over 7 State Parks within an hour of our house so we look forward to getting out and enjoying them.
We had to make a trip back to Louisville last week. It was nice to spend some time with our friends and get a few things done too. We stayed the weekend with our friends and (old) neighbors. It was weird to drive back to our old neighborhood and not have a house to go to. We tried to eat at our favorite restaurants while we were back in the Bluegrass State. On our way back to South Carolina we had to drive through the Smoky Mountains because of a rock slide on the main interstate. All of the trees were covered in a beautiful white coating. It looked like someone had just flocked all of the trees. What a beautiful sight.
You can see why it's called the "Smoky" Mountains
