Today, the 7th of January it hit 65 (the gas company's winter nightmare!). A great day for a walk.
Again, sky in Ohio, in Chicago looking up meant architectural wonders, here in Ohio, Nature's Majesty.
Then, the zoom lens kicked in, I've ordered one from the eye doctor for insertion. Wonder where the hundreds on this plane are going? how long did they sit on the runway?
Maybe they had a good book?
Indian Summer, in January? Ever read Peyton Place? the classic 1956 Grace Metalious novel? set in some small New Hampshire town.... it starts . . . . FEEL THE WEATHER!
"Indian summer is like a woman.. Ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle, and she
comes and goes as she pleases so that one is never sure whether she will
come at all, nor for how long she will stay. . . . She brings with her the time
of the last warm spell, an unchartered season which lives until Winter moves in
with its backbone of ice and accoutrements of leafless trees and hard frozen
ground. . . . .One year, early in October, Indian summer came to a town called Peyton Place.
"
I'll admit, that I have only read the beginning of this iconic American Novel. In a way I want to save it...... AKRON is much more Harper Valley PTA....
