Home Thoughts From Abroad

Oh, to be in England now that April 's there
And whoever wakes in England sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England-now!
Robert Browning 1812-1889

Even when my day consists of absolutely nothing memorable, there is still my walk with Connie-Dog around this beautiful campus and in early spring these carpets of wild flowers that make me think of home.
