plenty of the white stuff

i did say i won't complain about the amount of snow, but i will complain about how hard it is to walk in almost hip-deep snow. good exercise, for the dog, as well, but hard. buster commented about snowing in finland, he was right, it mostly snows here, at least this winter. i wish it stops snowing by midsummer...







snow does make everything look pretty







even at night. that's the almost full moon lurking behind the trees...







ps. i've found out the that surgeons i met on friday are actually quite accomplished doctors in their field...i still wish they'd operate on me rather sooner than later.
