A Beautiful Ohio Day

We had such a great day outside!  We hiked Clifton Gorge just outside of Yellow Springs, worked outside doing some spring clean up, visited Tom Cloud park and then came home to grill out burgers, hot dogs and s'mores for dessert.  What a blessed day!

Here are some photos of Clifton Gorge.  It's such a great place to hike!


In some areas, the river rushes and it's such a neat sound as the water rushes through the rocks.



In other areas, the river is more calm and quieter.


There are interesting and amazing rock outcroppings on both sides of the trail.


This is a special species of trillium flower - beautiful!



One one side of the trail is the river and on the other side, these amazing cliffs.




This is the bouquet I created from the branches my husband trimmed from our ornamental pear tree.  My husband has terrible allergies, so I didn't want to bring these into the house.  But, they were just too beautiful to toss.  Now I can see them from our dining room and living room.  The pitcher was a fun find at a garage sale several years ago for 25 cents!  Love that.

I hope you're enjoying the spring weather in your neck of the woods!

All my best to you,
