Happy Wednesday! Chelsea here.

This morning we're talking about one of my all-time favorite things to do in Ohio: apple picking. Apple picking is always a blast and at the end of it, you get to make all of the pies and tarts your heart can handle. If you've been looking for a fun outdoor activity to do with the family, you'll definitely want to check this list out. It's a great way to burn up some of that pent up quarantine energy. Plus, if ever there were a year to take the old "an apple a day..." adage to heart, it's 2020.

The more I see from the New Crew Stadium, the more I get excited. I know that it was a controversial topic, but I'm genuinely hyped for the opening. It looks incredible.

Today's Photo 🤳

Do we all consider Mount Vernon to be central Ohio? I like to view it with an inclusive lens for the region, but I know that's probably stretching the boundaries for some. Anyway, today I'm declaring it close enough because I really wanted to share this photo with you.

The Ariel Foundation partnered with Mount Vernon Nazarene College

to build this fountain

in late 2019 and I love it. It features 18 dogs made out of cast iron staring adoringly at the big golden bone you see in the center. It was inspired by "Claude Cormier’s fountain in Toronto’s Berczy Park" which you can

see here to compare
