is very pretty. People feel sorry for you when you say you live in northeast Ohio. They don't know. Blanketed in snow all winter from lake effect weather means beautiful snowfalls, white Christmases, lush green springs, summers with much less humidity than most other parts of the country and amazing fall foliage. There are rivers,wetlands, lakes and ponds everywhere. No shortage of water in this part of the country and there is all the wildlife that goes along with it. I really do love where I live.....
(except in January, February and March when I am very depressed, cook and eat too much, spend hours looking at real estate in warm climates, plan getaways, wonder if life is worth living, blow off dog walks because of the crappy weather, look forward all day to getting in bed at night to read and watch television, wonder if I will ever get to wear my sunglasses again, you get the idea).

I think the presence of black squirrels add to Chagrin's beauty.

when my mom visits, she is always at the window, on constant watch for the black squirrels... who are all over our" squirrel-proof" feeders
Just stumbled on your great blog. I so agree with you--there is great beauty in NE Ohio, in every season. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteA Californian here who loves Northeast Ohio. My sister lives in Lorain County and I love visiting in autumn. We're thinking about relocating there - the cost of living is another big plus! - and so I've been scouring the internet looking for pictures of Chagrin Falls since I've fallen in love with the real estate there. Thanks for posting such pretty photos.
