Ohio January

White icing spread atop cut-out trees, Shrubs melt, expose green cutout cookie snowflakes, Blue skies shove away clouds, reveal warm glossy blanketed fields, Sunshine toasts the breeze a golden crisp. Gazing out the picture window, I watch as God bakes another day of Ohio January.

We get the same weather (Pa.). I've been talking to my wife about Florida or Arizona. Somewhere that I don't need a shovel on the back porch during the Winter. You do paint a pretty picture of Ohio January though. God Bless. Vince

Beautiful imagery here, Robin!! I spent 3 years in Toledo back in the 60's and the winters became more than I wanted to deal with ... smile ... it snows here in Eugene but not like back there!!!

I live in Ohio as well, and I must say that this is quite appropriate for the state. Great job!
