Spring on the Lawn

The beauty of spring seems to heighten my sense of God’s wonderful creation. The bloom of the azaleas is a prime example, and they are at their most spectacular on this lovely lawn at the heart of campus.

It is probably the most recognizable place in town. No time is it more beautiful than in the spring. Ok, maybe during the fall when those glorious trees are brimming with lovely rolls of white runs a close second if not forcing an out-right tie.

We spent several days last week moving around the lawn trying to keep baby girl in the shade.

We weren't the only ones enjoying the great weather. I noticed hammocks hanging from trees with college students reading, typing or napping – some doing all three. There were other families picnicking, running and enjoying the warmth and beauty.


In a few months, maybe even weeks at this rate, it will be too hot to relax in this cozy spot. So for now, we’ll be out on the lawn as much as we can.
