I love where I'm living in Columbus this year. Within walking distance, there is virtually everything I could possibly need. If only my restaurant were a lot closer, I might never have to drive this summer!
Today I walked to the post office and library, with a stop at Panera for a patio lunch and at the garden center to check out the veggie plants. My friend and I have discussed planting a garden in her backyard, and I'm really hoping we follow through with it! She also lives within walking distance. I planted my herb garden this week. I opted for starter plants rather than seeds so that I don't have to wait as long for results. Basil, cilantro, dill, and parsley are hanging out on my windowsill (on the outside).
I also just learned that my FAVORITE ice cream flavor at a local "gourmet" ice cream place has made its return. I learned of it a little too late today or else I could have had some for lunch since the ice cream shop is along the way to the library.
I hope to make walking virtually everywhere a habit this summer. If I can condition myself over the summer, I hope I can continue when I start back to school. It's only a 1.7 mile walk according to Google so really, it shouldn't be too difficult until the weather gets nasty. Even then, I could probably walk all but the worst of days, and on those days I could take a bus part of the way. I just don't want to buy a parking pass for a tiny drive!
So that's what's up with my world right now. I'm adoring this taste of summer, and I can't wait for it the weather to actually stick around!
