Our backyard bird feeders provide us with much joy. They keep the cats amused and help feed the greedy squirrels.
Back Porch Abstract
For years I thought there was an abstract image in a portion of our back porch. I could never figure it out until one snowy winter day, the shadows, lines and curves all came together in an interest juxtaposition.
The dog thought I was crazy. It was cold out there that day.
Ohio State’s University Hall
From a Columbus Dispatch notables article: Ohio State University opened on Sept. 17, 1873.
In his 1952 History of the Ohio State University, James E. Pollard noted: “In a way this apparent neglect was understandable. There was no formal opening. The faculty was there, a handful of students gathered and they simply went to work on a sprawling campus remote from the city, in a single building still uncompleted, and in an atmosphere punctuated by the song of the saw and the pounding of hammers. It was anything but the traditional academic grove.”
That single building, University Hall, housed not only the lecture halls but also the faculty apartments and student lodging. It was closed in 1968 and razed in 1971. A replica was erected in 1976 and remains open today.
The image above is the replica.
