Spring came early this year, with many ups and downs in the temperature and general weather
conditions throughout February and March. As a result, UMW’s campus has started to bloom,
even if we’re still layering up before leaving our rooms. Though it is still mid-March, we are
already seeing plenty of sunny days with flowers blooming left and right. Flowers typically
begin to bloom in April; however, since there have been many unusually warm days lately,
spring has come early. Trees have begun to fill with leaves, and the flowers blooming beautifully
around campus have been a welcome sight. The sun has been shining, giving an exquisite glow
to the pathways and people on campus. Though it is a bit early to be seeing spring fully come to
life throughout Mary Washington, the warm weather we have been treated with sporadically has
given students the opportunity to spend more time outside while becoming one with nature.
