Summer in Hocking Hills is here!
One of our favorite things when we are at our Hocking Hills cabin is walking around, looking at the freshly trimmed yard and garden, with a nice beverage in hand. There is also something magical about gazing in the distance surrounded by nature's wonders. It makes me think that we need to spend more time here, exploring something different every day. Looking forward to more this summer. Gardening, stargazing, astroimaging, spending time with friends, all the wonderful things
