Spring officially "arrived" this past Wednesday but Spring didn't get the memo in Ohio so it's been cold and tonight we're expecting a major snow storm. These photos, taken by my husband, are from Saturday, March 16 when unusually balmy (for this non-Spring) sunny weather (in the 50s) got us out of the house and onto one of our favorite Metro parks for a nice, long walk with Lizzy.
This park has a pond known as "Turtle Pond," which has a nice trail around it where you can see turtles and geese and ducks and even the marvelous kingfishers. It's one of our favorite nearby places to spend some quality time and make the most of where we live and of the rare good weather.
I managed to get both myself and Lizzy all muddied up by taking her to the edge of the pond for a quick drink but it didn't faze either one of us too much. These kinds of outings, although they have not been frequent this March, do make up a little for the fact that we didn't do our usual trip to warmer Puerto Rico over Spring Break, opting instead for a staycation. Well, we won't be making that mistake again, that's for sure!
They're promising more normal temperatures by next weekend for Easter so here's to hoping that Spring will finally spring in Ohio.
