Winter blahs



I love this picture. It tells the story of life in Omaha, Nebraska, circa 2009-2010. December, January, February. Snow, snow, snow. Ice, a little melting (not enough though), then more ice, more snow, etc. etc. etc., till everyone feels like they're about to go crazy!! So many are grumbling about the cold, the snow; the sloppy, dirty mess that boots and shoes track through the house. I must admit, I've joined the ranks of whiners occasionally (especially when it comes to the dirt in the house!). Yet I must admit, this here's another battle that's not ours! And, really, in the big scheme of life, how can we even waste our breath complaining about the weather? Note to self: God is in complete control--even if it does look more like Edmonton than Nebraska!! By the way...the shovel?...that's the beginning of the driveway! The snow was too deep for the plow to get through, so we had to shovel it by hand! Ahhh...good times! The "Winter of 2009"--one for the record book!
