North Carolina vs. Ohio

North Carolina, what a beautiful state. It's always hot, and even warm in the winter sometimes. And only snows once a year, if your lucky. In the summer it's so hot, you can't even go outside, the water in the pools and lakes are too hot for comfort, and it's always in the 90 to 100+ degrees. Some people might like this, in fact love this, but, I hate it.

You see, I come from Ohio, my perfect state up north. It might be freezing in the winter, and cold most of the year, but I love it!

North Carolina is beautiful, in the spring, or what should still be the winter months, the flowers are already blooming, and there are tons of them. The grass is always green, birds are always singing, and EVERYTHING is ALWAYS green.

In Ohio, there's still snow on the ground, but when spring does come around, it surely is beautiful by itself, not counting the fact that it's been way over do, and everyone can't wait.There's tons of trees, water, natural parks and reserves that you can visit any time you want. And in the summer, it's the absolute, most perfect time of anything, the temperatures perfect, there's a nice little breeze, the perfect shade of green grass is soft enough to sleep on. You can see the green leaves rustling slightly on the big, thick, and healthy trees. You jump into the cool pool and float on your back to watch the occasional bird, and clouds fly over you. You hear your friendly neighbors cutting their grass, and you get out of the cool water to get ready for dinner. Then you sit down outside on the most perfect day and eat an all-American lunch. Hot dogs and hamburgers, cooked out on the grill to perfection while you were swimming around in pool pretending to be a mermaid,. After dinner, we wait till it gets darker, then we go out side with our glass gars with tin foil with little poke holes in it. The fenced-in back yard is covered with little yellow flashing lights. You try to catch them in your hands. You can still see the dead corn field that sits behind the fence with the small pond in the distance that you want to visit one day. All of your family and friends live close by, and everyone's in great shape from all the sports and activities they do because the weather is so nice.


Sure North Carolina's great and everything, but I just don't see how it can even compare to the sweet, prefect state of Ohio.
