Darn that Groundhog!

This is the time of year that tries men's (and women's) souls. Everyone I talk to these days is frazzled and futzy about the weather. It has been a long winter.

But I know that there are two things that one should never complain about: your health or the weather. And so, I've made it a personal goal to not complain this winter.

For the most part it's worked. Until this week.

We got blasted with another snow storm yesterday and I think it's just about all some people around here can handle. Even my kids are getting a little sick of it all.

But rather than bemoan the fact that we're knee deep in the white stuff . . . again . . . I thought I'd try a different tactic. I'd try to see the beauty in it.

So I grabbed the dog . . .



. . . and my camera, and I took some pictures while we walked.




And we found beauty all around us.









(Especially beautiful to me was what an unidentified neighbor did while I was out. Thanks, neighbor!)
