After weeks (or was it months) of rain storms here in the San Francisco Bay Areas, we finally had a break in the storm pattern. The temperature soared to the mid-seventies. Everyone erupted from their homes to squint in wonder at the sunny skies. In the East Bay, my aunt and I met for lunch and walked to the restaurant, enjoying the signs of spring all around us. Lawns and the surrounding hills were green from all the rain. Flower gardens were perking up.
Meanwhile out in San Ramon, Bishop Lake is attracting the spring flocks of geese, ducks, swans and herons (some local, others migratory). They are seeking food, mates and a safe place to roost. The landscape is green and the architectural plantings from the fall are now deeply rooted and perking up with the sun. Flowering trees are putting on their show of white, pink or yellow blooms. Ceanothus is blooming along the roads and highways in deep blue. It's a time for Knowing the Spring wherever you are in the Bay Area,
