Went for a brief walk

And it was lovely. Things are starting to bloom. I'll have pictures to post tonight.

We have a vine here that boasts beautiful purple flowers with a star/pentagon shape in the center. I brought one such flower and a pine cone in to my office. Not sure how long the flower will last, but for today at least I have a little bit of nature here to remind me that spring is here.

(Now, if only my office wasn't sweltering...)
