February’s Ice &
Snow Challenges
The recent ice and snow Darke Countians and Southwest Ohio residents
have been facing offer opportunities for beauty, and for challenges.
The unbroken stretch for the past several weeks has also led many to
“cabin fever.” Some have chosen to depict the weather from their
perspective. Angela Chavez, Dayton, and Senior Scribe Lyn Bliss,
Greenville, have sent pictures of the beauty, and the danger, presented
by Mother Nature. Senior Scribe Bev Hughes chose to sit down at her
computer keyboard and express her wishes for an early spring. Even the
most challenging circumstances provide opportunities for creativity…
enjoy! See photos and poem here

Punxsutawney Phil
- A little nonsense and a 4-Day forecast
So what can you say about the last couple of weeks, other than it’s
been cold and we’ve had everything from fog patches and drizzle at 32
degrees, to ice and snow that generally made life miserable?
We’ve had some great photos sent to us… check them out. Does that help?

The Bliss Family
Alaskan Huskies...
They're like children, especially when they're acting up, but they add
pleasure to the lives of the Bliss Family. And it seems they are right
at home in this "Alaska" winter. Three and Cherokee enjoy the outside
more than they do the inside... except of course in the summer - By Lyn
Bliss
