Our Ohio atmosphere


Since moving to Ohio, we’ve been asked many, many times why we would move here from California.
Here is an image of the atmosphere we had in front
of our condo today.

          It’s a fair question, obviously. The bottom line is that we like it here. We have friends here in Ohio and we enjoy the atmosphere. In fact, the atmosphere is picturesque. I have attached some images of the picturesque Ohio atmosphere.

          Tonight, the atmosphere is less warm than it has been at other times of the year. Our special thermometer, which has a remote atmospheric sensor we keep outside that communicates with a special atmospheric receiving gizmo that we keep inside the house, relates that the current temperature outside is 15.6 degrees and falling.

          The good news is that we’ve had no rain this week. But you can see in the images how the non-rain has piled up in the neighborhood. Sort of odd, huh?
This view shows our street after the atmosphere
was pushed to the side.
 

          Odd enough that I have to wear heavy boots and three pairs of clothes when I walk the dog at night. But we’ve adjusted to the climate and our dog has not seemed to notice much difference. She hasn’t complained anyway.

          We have a beautiful park across the road from our neighborhood and I walk along the trails there frequently. Parks have a tendency to become housing tracts in California but it doesn’t seem as likely to happen here. Thus, for an avid photographer there is another bonus: Neat stuff for the old image collection.

Real ice, real atmosphere!
          No joking: We like living here. We miss our family and friends back in California, but our new surroundings are pretty neat. Look at the image of the ice hanging from our neighbor’s roof. In California, we’d have to hang fake ice from the rain gutter. Here we have the real thing.

          You should try it sometime. You might like it.
 
          Happy New Year and thanks for reading.
