One nice thing about working in downtown Cleveland is that there are several nice garden spots within walking distance of my building where I can go to read at lunch time. Here is a picture of the closest one which is always open. When we had 80 degree temperatures the second last week of April, this is where I went to read. It's less than a 5-minute walk away and is sort of sheltered from the wind.
This is a picture of the Cleveland Public Library garden which is my favorite lunch time get-away; a 10-minute walk. It has a big bird bath in the middle and it's fun to watch both the
birds and the squirrels. It opens the first week of May and stays open I believe through October. Many people enjoy this peaceful are in the midst of their work day.
Lastly, about a 15-minute walk away is the wide open grassy mall with benches, flower borders and a big fountain. I usually don't go here to read because the benches are uncomfortable, but it makes for a very nice place to walk.
How do you break up your work day? Do you actually take time for an hour lunch (Gerard only gets a half hour)? It really is a good idea to get out for awhile and stretch your legs, get some fresh air and give yourself a break.
