For My Oregon Friends...

            I've decided to dedicate this post to pictures of Ohio things.  Here is a crash course on life in the Buckeye State.



Bugs here are huge! That's one of the first things you need to know.



It is never cold in the summer. Even if it's cloudy, it's hot. If it's cloudy, it's worse.

 



Snow is almost always on the ground in the Winter. However, there will be surprisingly warm days here and there.

Spring, like everything here, is done with great passion, and makes up for the cold of Winter.

 

The weather in Spring is still spontaneous, and rainstorms are violent. This is tornado, season, after all!

 

 

This is the view out my window during a Spring rain.

Tap-root type plants grow well here. We harvested hundreds of tomatoes off of these few plants. Soybeans are common here, as well as corn.

 

This is a soybean field.

Ohio may be land-locked, but Lake Erie is beautiful!

Another crazy storm. We have one or two a week in the Summer.

Ohioans are very patriotic, and almost every town has a giant firework display on the 4th of July.

The sky here is always beautiful, but I like it best early on Summer mornings.

 

 

Rabbits make nests in our yard!

Another view out my window. I don't have much of a view in the Summer. It's like a jungle!

Ohioans are crazy about football. It's impossible to avoid it, so Tim and I have embraced it. Go Bucks!!!!!

Chick-fil-A is one of the best things here! This is an Oregon friend of mine, when she came to visit.

We live in an Air Force town, and I have spent countless hours at the USAF Museum! Residents and visitors alike love the museum.

There are some nice rivers here, and we like rock-jumping!

Again, the SKY! This was taken standing in our neighborhood creek!

Our neighborhood is really nice. It is mostly flat, old, and full of trees!

There are lots of water towers around. This is our neighborhood one.

This is my church, Covenant Presbyterian.

Here's the outside, in Winter. It's right next to Rico's Hair Salon!

There is a lot of demolition going on in this area, unfortunately.

Airplanes are ALWAYS in the sky.

Cardinal is the state bird of Ohio.

This is our house, the day we moved in.

 

 

That's all I have for now! More may come later!
