    Time On Campus

    Studytime
    Architecture, Colors, Patterns, Art and People

    I enjoy spending time on campus at Colorado State University. The campus is just a few blocks from my condo, an easy walk, bike ride or a short bus ride to the transit center on campus. I use the library for quiet time to read and write. There are three little coffee shops on campus, one in the library and two in the Lory Student Center. There are images everywhere when you look: architecture, colors, patterns, art. And, what a place to watch people, mainly young students, as they move from class to class. And, if your into fast food you’ll think you’ve d moved on to heaven.

    Snow stated falling sometime after midnight. It’s a beautiful heavy wet snow and a lot more than expected. I measured my sidewalk a few minutes ago and have 9 inches rather than the 1-3 inches predicted. The wind has also been blowing and gusting making for blizzard conditions. Schools have closed. Busses have stopped. Libraries have closed. Not really unusual for this time of the year in Colorado.

    I found this young man sound asleep on Monday while walking through the Lory Student Center. Must have been a need to recuperate from Spring Break. Seeing him made my day. Stay warm.

    Winter Reminder

    It is still winter

    Well the First Day of Spring will be on Sunday so winter decided to remind us that it is still winter. Mixed snow and rain began falling early yesterday morning and continued through the night. We received between 4 and 5 inches as of this afternoon. And, tonight is expected to drop down into the low teens.

    A couple days ago I came upon this young lady sitting outside one of the classrooms on campus, basking in the warm sun. We have had blue skies and warm sunshine but cold nights, temperatures dropping below 20 at night. However, this weekend is predicted to be much warmer. Looking forward to it. Enjoy your weekend.
