We discussed a major road trip this morning, and with the temperatures this low and whippy winds fanning some very rosy cheeks, we decided to just do "the usual" round the world (our little one) jaunt. We love to do the Columbus version... reach the East by sailing West. Off north.... to Bevier for our little stop at Matt's Market.
Mother calls in an order, and he brings it to the car. Freshest meats, lovely vegetables, smiles, diet soda... Cheerful, kind... Matt's simply the best little market owner in the whole wide world.... "Have a good day, Girls!" he sends us on our way...
So we travel south past our house down Highway 63 to a Junction restaurant called "The Crossroads." Small, cozy... today's special was fried flounder, potatoes au gratin, and Oriental coleslaw, hot roll... Mom got the special. I decided on a grilled chicken salad... Delish!
Then our usual whirl back to the East and later the North.... through Amish Country.... What beautiful blue skies today.... Can it be possible that the weather man be right? He's yakking on and on about snow showers tonight and all day tomorrow? These Amish homes all had wonderful woodsy smoke coming from their chimneys... They were busily doing their Saturday chores... I never take photos of people if they're close enough to see faces... but these shots seem respectful enough. We admire our Amish friends so much...

One room school... reminds me about 80 percent of the school I attended in Excello. We put our coats and boots in that little anteroom at the front.
Don't you love the shocks of corn? Everything around there was simply spick and span... barns electric red and fresh paint on sidings and fences... It was a pretty sight on a cold afternoon.
Came home for a little blogging, reading... maybe snoozing... It's 11 degrees... headed to a high of 14!!!! Heat wave... Have a great weekend.
