On the downward slope of Maple St. in Fayetteville, there is a radius of 5 feet that is pure heaven. It's the grouping of the Lillie's of the Valley near the Natural Science building. Their scent's silver fingers, reaches and stretches way out into the street.

A few people are up when I run - right before the sun comes up. I often wonder - are they enveloped in the flowery blanket as much as I am? I hope so. What a way to start a morning ;)
