Springtime in the City

Here I am again with my seasonal weather update. My last post was about snow and now spring is everywhere. I'm realizing how important the seasons are to me, another reason I'd never survive in Florida and California!
Last week when we had one of our first really sunny warm days of the year, I took a walk. I love the neighborhood around our office. (I love our neighborhood at home too, but that is another post.) When I get restless at work and can't stand looking at the computer screen I can just get up and go outside. I go to Dollar General and get a snack or just walk down High Street. This particular day I was struck with how awesome living and working in the city is. I love visual contradictions. The ugliness of the city becomes a work of art next to a beautiful piece of nature. With all the trees coming alive and blooming, the Short North is full of these strange pairings. I feel blessed that I live and work in a place that I can just walk out my door and see some of my favorite art everywhere I turn!
