ALMOST SPRING FOR SPIRITUAL-SCENIC-SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY

 

LEAVING THE HOME&GARDEN SHOW IN COLUMBUS,OHIO WE PASS THROUGH LANCASTER,OHIO ON OUR WAY TO DAWES ARBORETUM JUST NORTH OF ROUTE 40 ON ROUTE 13.

SPIRITUAL—SCENIC--SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY 

What can possibly compete with HONEY

MAYBE MAPLE SYRUP MAN WILL GIVE US A TOUR…

KATHY AT THE EVAPORATER MAKING SURE THE TEMPERATURE AND LEVEL OF SAP IS JUST RIGHT.

     For me going into nature is one way I live a spiritual lifestyle. I feel the man that has gathered sap has led a purposeful life. To be in touch with the bee and the tree as they go about their business of making honey and sap is a blessing in my life today and for that I am grateful. God’s Grace and an Attitude of Gratitude makes for a wonderful day to be alive.

AS WE HEAD BACK TO THE LAND OF MILK AND HONEY

Looking For Color In Ohio ( For Sky Watch Friday)

IN THE HOCKING HILLS NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO

Blue - Joni Mitchell

For SKY WATCH FRIDAY I’m going to try and find some color on this winter day. Leaving Lancaster,Ohio behind and heading for the Hocking Hills I will be looking for some “high ground” to search for some color on this gray day.What could be better than a Fire Tower for a good view?

 

Lot of steps to climb to get a good view. Not looking for any fires just some color.

Can you see it? Way off in the distance I think I see a little color. First, I would like for you to see this photo titled (Gray on Grey).

 If all you have to work with is gray skies one must be innovative, right ????? I know I saw some color down the road so let’s take a look.

   Some GREEN pine trees.

A touch of YELLOW,RED,AND BLUE but I’m sure I saw more.

  All I can say is, “In Ohio this time of year you do what ya gotta do.” LOL

Reese sold the home to Philip and Caroline Rising and it remained in the family until 1994.The Reese-Peters House was then given as a gift to Fairfield County and is now THE DECORATIVE ARTS CENTER OF OHIO.

So, we know who Reese is but who is Peters? Well, Philip Rising Peters, was the last private owner, and now you know. (we also have RISING PARK )

Time to go to the second floor where over 30  artists from Europe and the U.S.A.. (including central Ohio) are exhibiting.  Have you ever made a tri-cornered hat from newspaper? Wait til you see what the  Hawaiian artist named Moses can do. You will be awestruck. CLICK to visit his website. (A MUST SEE). Maybe my favorite (if you can have a favorite at this exhibit) BEATRICE CORON  and her ELECTRICITY

FINALLY SOME BLUE SKY IN LANCASTER,OHIO FOR SKY WATCH FRIDAY

 

SKY WATCH FRIDAY in Lancaster,Ohio where it has been pretty difficult to find anything blue. Please take the time to click on the link to visit beautiful skies from all around the world.

(TIME FOR A SHORT HIKE IN THE WOODS AND A NAP UNDER THE TREES. A GOOD TIME TO JUST LOOK AT THE SKIES.)

TIME FOR A NAP

LOOKS LIKE A STORM IS COMING. IS THERE ANYWHERE TO SEEK SHELTER?

AS A YOUNGSTER I USED TO “LIVE IN THESE WOODS” AND I COULD ACTUALLY CRAWL INSIDE THE CAVE. A SMALL CAMPFIRE A COUPLE HOTDOGS AND SOMETHING TO DRINK AND I WAS ALL SET. REALLY DOES LOOK LIKE THE WEATHER IS CHANGING. I WONDER WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING.

 LOOKS LIKE WE ARE BACK TO “NORMAL” GRAY……………………….

As Always Thanks For Stopping By……….Joe Todd
