Spring in St. Louis

Lovely phlox drapes a hillside on the campus
 of Concordia Seminary in St Louis, Missouri.


                      Delicate blossoms punctuate corners of brown mulch.

It is apparent that there has been a culture
 of plant care and grooming on campus.
Daffodils herald spring as they wave in the breeze.
Fragile pink dogwood blossoms
dance on waving gray branches.
Ruffled petals of tree peonies bend low
 to the ground with the heavy blooms.

Clumps of slender green 
are dotted with white highlights.
Wild hyacinths.
Solomon's seal has such a 
pretty variegated leaf.
We are finishing up a decade of visits 
to this Seminary campus for Call Services
 for pastors and vicarage assignments. 
I doubt that I will be back here again.
Pat Maier and myself were blessed to visit with two 
of our Visual Faith Ministry Family Life coaches while here.  
Meghan Flanick and Rachel Hinz blessed us with a visit
 by graciously meeting us on campus.
St. Louis you have been fun to visit 
It was great to catch up with them 
and hear what God is doing in their lives.
May the Lord bless you in your faithful journeys!
