. . . i love to see the temple . . .

. . . oh my . . .

. . . this is the enormous 

north lawn of the temple . . .

. . . the one you see 

when driving down main street . . .

. . . the one where you 

{and thousands of your closest friends} 

sit to watch the easter pageant . . .

. . . the one where the larger than life camels 

and three wise men 

stand during the christmas season . . .

. . . the one that provides an unobstructed view 

of the visitors center christus . . .

. . . what in the world have they done 

to the north lawn? . . .

. . . they've removed all the grass . . .

. . . redone the sprinkler system . . .

. . . installed some sort of 

reinforcement system . . .

. . . and planned for more efficient drainage . . .

. . . tomorrow evening, 

manymanymany youth 

{and their leaders} 

will convene to lay new sod . . .

. . . this very important north lawn 

will be good as new 

{actually even better} 

before we know it . . .

. . . also --- if you've attended the temple lately ---

 you know things there are even better . . . 

. . . it's a very lovely place to be . . .
