Today - Sunny and breezy with a bit of clouds here and there. Observed the campus at its best - crowded with young people, and not so young people. Chipmunk in residence also. Trees, both native and gifts from Japanese students, leafed and needled out in patterns of fractal beauty, ginkos, hemlocks, maples of all colors, oak and arbor vitae. Walking was a feast for the eyes today. Courtyard in bloom with shady spots to enhance the feel of summer. We appreciate summer who know such winters as the last.
