Spring!!!

How beautiful the campus looks this week. All the spring flowers are in full bloom - a raft of gorgeously hued tulips of yellow, red, purple, white, orange and pink, daffodils of white and yellow and all sorts of combinations, purple and white hyacinths galore. The flowering trees are a wealth of color - the brilliant yellow forsythia, the creamy white ornamental fruit trees, the maroon and pink hydrangea bushes. It is as if the earth is celebrating the return of warm weather and blue skies.

The grounds people here do a marvelous job tucking enticing little gardenettes here and there, next to the entrance of Rinker Administration Building, by the bridge to the Smith Science Center, along the wall of Garlock Dining Hall. The fragrance greets you gently as you walk about - a marvelous excuse to hand deliver anything that has to go anywhere on campus!

I am happy to have the heat off and the sun on and flowers in bloom. I hope it lasts for weeks.
