As the days begin to get slightly longer some of us are craving the warmth of Spring. I have chosen images that will remind us of those days. On a warm April day in 2008 we took our dog Mya to a local state park, Quail Hollow. She is an Aussie Shephard/Border Collie mix, who delights in chasing squirrels and herding whatever creatures may be around particularly my husband and me. April is a good month in northeast Ohio. The winter has come to an end (per the calendar) the snows we do get melt a lot faster and there are many warmer days. This was a warm day, the sun was shining and the air had the scent of warm earth. Anyone who lives in Ohio knows what I am talking about, the smell of dirt and grass coming out of the deep freeze- fresh and musty all rolled into one. There are buds, new blooms and sprouts everywhere. The world becomes green again! A person can take a deep breath without the bitter cold burning ones lungs. We are lucky here in the fact that we have so many great state parks and recreational areas to enjoy. I am getting a little antsy this winter myself and can’t wait for there to be more warmer days than colder ones, and to shake off the cabin fever. Hang in there fellow Ohioans Spring is just around the corner!
Quail Hollow is a very state park on the north side of Hartville, Ohio (a lot of family history in Hartville for us, but that is a story for another day). The park has bike trails, horse trails and plenty of hiking trails.
