Its Winter time in Preble County Ohio!

Let it snow, Let it snow,Let it snow!

One of the greatest things about Ohio is that if you don't like the weather, just wait till tomorrow...it'll be different! Living and working in a great rural area like Preble County means that many times in the winter, we all get a chance to sit back and enjoy the blessings that Mother Nature gives to us.

We have had some fairly heavy snows this February. Well, heavy by Ohio standards! My children have been enjoying the snow days, though I keep telling them, when they have to make up those days this summer, they wont be quite so excited about it anymore : )

So here's a shot at the top of the 18th hole. My kids and I went sledding.

Sure , it was icy and sleeting, but we are DIE HARD SLEDDERS!!View from the 18th hole!

Another photo here below, shows the Preble County Courthouse way off in the distance. Its a nice view from a different angle not many people get a chance to see, other than golfers and us sledders!

Below, off in the distance, you can see a pretty red covered bridge. This is Roberts Bridge. Built in 1829, this is Ohio's oldest bridge. It is a double barreled bridge, which is extremely unique. This is the ONLY double barreled bridge in Ohio and 1 of 6 in the entire US. In the summer, the kids and I can walk on it and feed ducks.

This is just a tiny bit of the beauty Preble County offers in the heart of winter time.

Hi Kelley - That sure looks like a lot of fun! We don't get to do that very often here in Texas, but when we do...watch out! We have a very steep driveway and when it ices or snows ALL the kids in the neighborhood come over and we have a blast! We'll slide on anything that will slide...even the picnic cooler! It's fun to put little ones in it and give them a shove! I hope you all had fun making memories!
