Sledding

The recent week brought such a warm-up that we spent one day at the park, with no jackets at all. The sun was shining, the temperature rose to the mid 60s, and we were thinking about all the wonderful things that spring will bring. And yet, I may be the only one crazy enough to think, "Well, this is great, but I sure hope we're not completely done with winter, because we didn't get enough sledding in—and we didn't even build a single snowman yet."

As if to emphasize what a ridiculous thought that was, the weather turned almost immediately colder, and this morning, we awoke to more snow. It's a modest amount. It certainly can't compare to the recent pile-up we had in January. Or what they had in Ohio, where we visited Allardale Farm, for a trip down the giant hill which I tobogganed down in my youth. If you're ever near Medina Ohio, looking for the sled ride of your dreams, this is it.
