I would definitely say that spring is in the air! I love spring! This morning as I walked back to the dorm for a quick nap before Doctrine of Holiness, I took a nice long breath of fresh air, complete with a hint of the smell left over from the first mowing yesterday. To me it brought back wonderful memories from long ago. It smelled just like it used to when I'd go to Greenhill Farms on that one Saturday in spring, all suited up in giant barn boots and clothes that I didn't mind if they got muddy! I could smell the fresh air mixed with the first whiff of the tractors as they were started, while watching the warm sun chase away the coolness of the morning. Mmmm... maybe to you tractors aren't a nice smell, but to me they're great, because I would always get up really early and go with my dad to meet my grandpa over at his house! Then we'd get in his truck with the trailer behind and off we'd go in search of great wonderful new piece of machinery that was just longing to be bought and driven home! Despite the miles of mud, those are wonderful memories and yes, they do hit me sometimes at the oddest moments. Just like they did this morning as I walked from the cafeteria to the girls dorm, smack dab in the middle of a huge city with not a field (or a decent rusty tractor) to be found for miles! Who knows, maybe someday I'll be on down the road of life and come across something that reminds me of my days here at GBS. Until then, I'll do my best to cherish every moment I have here! :0)
Have a great day!
