"The difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists." - Charles Dickens

Ah, spring. Flowers blooming, birds chirping, and construction.

So much construction. Right outside of our apartment.

We received a notice a couple of months ago indicating that the city was going to put in a new heating system and to expect construction through July 31. Perfect timing.

These people start early. They are always out by 7am, and John and I once swore they started at 5:30am. So we generally wake up to the soothing sounds of BEEP BEEP BEEP and drilling concrete. Peaceful.

It's way worse for John since he has to listen to it at home all day. At least I get to leave. But of course they don't work weekends.
