Early Bloomers in a New Land
After three weeks of a constantly spinning turnstile here, at the inn, my wife and I finally got away from the mountains and the winter for a couple days, heading for the coast and Point Reyes National Seashore. Imagine our surprise, discovering verdant slopes tumbling into the blue Pacific Ocean, full of life as well as the promise of life. Gray Whales were spouting off-shore, a variety of birds soared and zoomed and fluttered and hovered, a Bobcat hunkered down in the tall grass as we hiked by, Tule Elk foraged here and there, and an assortment of wildflowers were already in bloom.

Appreciating Spring
In southern California, where winter happens somewhere else and flowers bloom year ‘round, it might be easy to lose sight of what spring means to folks in Ohio or Indiana or North Carolina, all places where winter has spit me out into the warm motherly embrace of the Vernal Equinox. Perhaps my attitude has grown fat and lazy, but I hope not. Though I have been blessed with a bounty of tolerable weather and winter-long wildflowers this year, I can still feel the wonder and the glee that only spring can polish my silver with.
