Snow, Farm Show, Dentist

So Monday night after work, we went to the Pennsylvania Farm Show. I had written health certificates to send animals to the show-two market hogs that were super friendly and one market goat. I had also heard some good things about it in particularly the food court. When I got home from work, I did some internet research and determined that I really wanted to go, snow or not. Apparently, snow during Farm Show week is also a given. When Joe finally got home, he was in a foul mood but I hussled him to the farm show. Once there, it was really crowded and we wandered around completely lost because there was a significant lack of maps to be had. We visited the PVMA booth where Joe had to fight the urge to tell the vet manning it that I too was a vet. Then we found the arena where the mini pony pull was to be taking place but there wasn't anything happening. We wondered around the barns some looking at rabbits and chickens in depth before going back to the food court. At the food court, every producers association was there hawking their particular goods-potato, honey, maple, apple, livestock, dairy, etc. Joe and I ate some potato donuts and honey waffles. I also had a maple sundae and pulled pork sandwich while Joe had some amazing smoked trout soup. We bought some maple syrup and honey products before going home. The Farm Show was pretty cool-its like an indoor wintertime state fair minus the carnival rides. There are lots of events that we didn't see including the butter sculpture. Maybe next year, we'll actually be able to go during the day and see more stuff. The bad thing though is that its going to be even more crowded. Let's hope that Joe's in a better mood.
Tuesday, I went to the dentist. I left feeling like there wasn't much difference in how clean my mouth is. He handscaled my teeth and polished them. Next week, I have to go back for two cavities to be filled. Hopefully then some xrays will be taken.
Tuesday afternoon as I sat around doing nothing, the sky looked like that white-gray cloudiness that means that there will be snow any minute. Eventually, it did start snowing and by the morning when it stopped we had about four to five inches. Most of the snow from the previous week was gone. Early in the morning, the borough would plow the street! And I would go to work. People in this state love snow! Or they love removing it! Everywhere I looked as I went to work, there were people shoveling sidewalks or snowblowing driveways. People in Missouri don't get so excited about it. Here its like they are looking for an excuse to break out the snow shovel. Two inches? Sure, I'll shovel the mile long driveway! I'd love to! They must spend all summer long polishing that snow shovel for the eventual winter snow fall. Joe and I take more of a lackluster approach of maybe Joe will shovel off the sidewalk, maybe the driveway. I push him into doing it to prevent our elderly neighbor from doing it for us. I know sure as the world he would. And then give us something from his freezer.
