Back in the saddle
After a few days off for my hand to start healing, I am back in the saddle and back in the office. So far I am not that much worse for wear except an ugly bandage and I make a lot of typos, as my hand does not quite stretch as much as it should : ) Typos are a pet peeve of mine so I am hoping to catch them all before I let this go live.
Today is a beautiful sunny day on campus. Unlike yesterday, when we actually had snow flurries for a while (and a colleague texted me about the snow and said that it meant heck was freezing over!). The flowers and trees are starting to bloom and in another week or two it will arguably be the prettiest time to be on campus.
I have often wondered what first time visitors to the campus think when they drive in off the Silas Creek/Reynolda entrance and see oceans of daffodils and the gorgeous creeping phlox and all the wonderful landscaping. Particularly in the spring, when everything is blooming, it feels a bit like our own little slice of heaven.
