The icy roads this morning canceled our planned trip to the Natural Science Center of Greensboro (Griff’s day care was closed, so we were all home today), but we made up for it with a visit to the NCMLS in the morning and a hike around Few’s Ford in the afternoon. After a yucky start, the weather turned out to be pretty fantastic. Warm enough for someone to keep running heedlessly and repeatedly into the Eno River, in any case. Luckily his parents had stashed spare pants, socks and shoes in the car.

And here is an extreme closeup of the pork carnitas I made this weekend. I am a corn-tortilla-making machine!
