N-S-E-W
Today is a beautiful day. It’s sunny, low 70s, a light breeze. This morning it was too cool to be out without a light jacket or shirt, but at 3 pm it was a perfect temperature to be outside – not too hot, not too […]
Brings May Flowers?
After a thoroughly beautiful afternoon for Campus Day this past Friday, we had a decent Saturday weather-wise and then yesterday it was a soggy rainy mess all day. Looking out our windows, there is a storm that looks to be rolling in to town, and […]

Bits and Pieces
Happy Wednesday, Deac families! It was supposed to be rainy today but it has been a mix of sun and clouds and very warm. There have been tons of campus tours of late. Seems like every time I’m on the Quad, there are multiple tour groups […]
10,000 Tulips
It’s doubtful that there are really 10,000 tulips on campus, but in the places where they are coming up, they are coming up in abundance. At the gated entrance off Silas Creek parkway, the beds by the gatehouse have tons of beautiful red tulips. […]
Spring Has Sprung
Over the past few days, spring has really arrived. There are pink buds and flowers on the trees, the dandelions are in full bloom, and the weather has been really nice – sunny and high 60s-low 70s. Spring fever makes it very hard […]
