I am SO happy to hear that Joe is feeling better. There's been several times I wanted to ask how he was doing but didn't want to hijack a post that had nothing to do with that subject. You both have been in my thoughts so many times since I first heard the news and the prayers and well wishes continue.

The winter landscape can be so stark and barren, but to me, the beauty still exists. Maybe it is the hope that new life lurks just below the surface of the dried out grasses and sticks. Don't know how those geese can swim in that frigid water though!
