ANOTHER SIGN OF SPRING

I take a brisk walk for forty-five minutes every day in Poland Forest (Poland, Ohio).  Yes, Poland has a forest;  it's located between Route 170 and Route 680.  It's a wooded area with several miles of trails - excellent for walking and jogging.  About ninety percent of the people I meet there are walking their dogs.  It's an amazing escape from the world of traffic and hustle!

Every spring, walkers are treated to an azure blue feast for the eyes as the fields of bluebells blossom.  This treat lasts three to four weeks and is in full array at present.  The park officials even take down the barriers to allow vehicles to slowly drive through the area to enjoy God's showcase!

If you live anywhere near Poland, find the forest and give your eyes a treat!  [Turn west off South Main Street (Rte.170) onto College Street.  Follow it to a parking area at the end.  Enter the park and bear to the left.  Follow the trail down and across the creek.  The trail makes a loop through the fields of bluebells]
