~ ~ ~

For the moment
coffee sipped
toke taken
face to sun
redorangeyellow photon glow
through bloodflesh lids
briefly
time slows
reality repents
all is one in one soft flow
sun the charger
me battery
entropy forgotten

As seasons go
I be gone
hanging by my heels

~ ~ ~

Thought I was done with Trump
but he won’t go down the drain
so gotta keep flushing

~ ~ ~

Rain
what a lovely sound
until you have to walk the dog

~ ~ ~

Lifes with Wifes

She lies
sez she’s ready for bed
hour later still scrolling

Past wife
do things her way
or pay

I know it’s old
but I been told
happy wife happy life

My second wife’s my first love
a friend’s once-wife my second
my first wife my third

I’m unworthy of each

~ ~ ~

Old bones
ache, break
make for long day

We got birth
we got death
rest is guess

Want and wend
duty and desire
seldom same

How I got
from there to here
I will never know

Seeking happy life
in unhappy world
suggestions accepted

~ ~ ~

I drink slow coffee
for fast brain
waiting for sun

~ ~ ~

Black sinners
go straight to heaven
cuz done did hell on earth

~ ~ ~

We were wrong when we said wrong
wrong on wrong
so right

Rich fucks
are killing the planet
we lick their crumbs

It’s time
to do deed
deed do

~ ~ ~

The lizard people
feed from top
lick the bottom

~ ~ ~

Rain on roof
massages brain
eases pain

Harpersfield one-lane covered bridge

October 24, 2021 No Comments

Harpersfield one-lane covered bridge south of Geneva-on-the-Lake




from the web — Harpersfield Bridge is a covered bridge spanning the Grand River in Harpersfield Township, Ashtabula County, Ohio, United States. This double-span Howe truss bridge, one of currently 16 drivable covered bridges in the county, is the third longest covered bridge in Ohio at 228 feet. A flood in 1913 washed away the land at the north end of the bridge, and the steel span was subsequently attached. The bridge features a walkway, added during its renovation in 1991-92. The bridge also features an Ashtabula County MetroPark at its north end, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge’s WGCB number is 35-04-19, and it is located approximately 3.4 mi (5.4 km) south of Geneva.

1868 – Bridge constructed.
1913 – Steel span added.
1962 – Bypassed when State Route 534 was rerouted around the settlement of Harpersfield.
1991-92 – Bridge renovated.

Dimensions
Length: 228 feet (69.5 m)
Overhead clearance: 12 feet 9 inches (3.9 m)

 

History

This 53 acre park adjacent to the historic Harpersfield Covered Bridge, spanning the Grand River (an Ohio designated Wild and Scenic River), is the first and oldest in the park system.  The property for the park was purchased in early 1961 from the Western Reserve Properties, representing Fred and Beverly Traub.  The park was dedicated by the park board on June 11, 1961 when a flag pole was erected at the park.  In the early 1990’s, a donation by the Ohio Water Service (OWS) of land and buildings adjacent to the original park has brought the park to its present size.  The value of the property allowed the park board to secure a Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant to construct a new pavilion and restroom, in addition to replacement of park water lines and installation of new water fountains.The Harpersfield Covered Bridge Metropark has an activity field, woodlands, covered pavilions with picnic tables, and a popular bait and gift shop.  The patrons now enjoy birding, field games, fishing, kayaking and canoeing, wading, photography, picnicking, and the numerous popular events hosted by the Friends of the Harpersfield Metropark.
