Observations, pictures, and sketches highlight the transition of moving to the nations's Capitol after 30 years of living in the Midwest. A clash in cultures? Maybe not!

Berries in the Park
When we don’t drive in to town for a morning walk we ride over to the neighborhood park. We could actually walk over, but we like to jump in the car afterwards for a quick spin to cool off in the air conditioning - or in winter - to warm up. As the seasons change so does the foliage and flowers. Earlier in the year there were what seemed like raspberries growing along the path. We have caught pedestrians eating the berries, but neither one of us would risk it. Now the leaves are beginning to scatter along the path - some of them green but more yellow and brown. A very noticeable change is another sort of berry that seems to be in abundance now. They are either very green or very purple. I’m not sure if they are edible but they look like something the birds might find delicious. It is such a relaxing and peaceful walk in this place. Many of the people we see are a little more than strangers as we pass by them quite regularly. We have saved a child’s lost shoe and someone else’s keys finding them just the right time. It’s nice to have a walking space that changes over time. You just have to take notice.
