Phil saw his shadow--six more weeks of winter on the way

 Friday we were sitting on a beach and I was able to remember exactly how it feels to be sandblasted. The wind was blowing and the grains of sand were almost painful as they pelted my face. 

Exfoliated? 

Perhaps. 

We found some relief by a dune, but the blowing sand still was painful. It diminished the enjoyment of our January beach visit, but still it was January and we were comfortably on a beach!

Down by the water, the wet sand provided relief from the sandblasting. 

Being on a beach is a lot better than worrying about six more weeks of winter! Take that Punxsutawney Phil!
