The Buckeye State

Hello to all my Alabama friends,

Dodie and I are so tired from all the adventures, we decided to relax and find some interesting information about Ohio. All states have symbols that represent things that might be unique to that state. Ohio has many symbols. I found these interesting.

The Buckeye tree is the state tree.


This is the nut that falls from the Buckeye tree. A buckeye in your pocket is supposed to bring good luck.


The state flower is the Scarlet Carnation.


The state bird is the Cardinal.


The state animal is the white-tailed deer.


The state frog is the Bullfrog.


The state reptile is the Black Racer Snake.  (Ewww)


The state fruit is the tomato. The state beverage is tomato juice. 

The state insect is the ladybug.


And, the state "gem" is Ohio flint.


We will be going to the Clippers game later today. I'll post more then.

Your  friend in Ohio,
Flat Stanley
