First Day of Spring
March 20, 2012
With the big storm over the weekend and our valley surrounded by snow topped mountains, it may be hard to believe that today is the first day of Spring. However, signs of Spring are definitely present.
We walk out into our parking lot and smell that wonderful scent of orange blossoms. We are very fortunate to have our office next to the San Bernardino County Museum as they have surrounded their site with orange groves. The scent of blossoming citrus is a real treat to us.
Trees are also welcoming Spring with the leaves of deciduous trees beginning to show fresh green sprouts.
Our weather is also typical of Springtime. Cool to cold evenings, but warm days as the sun rises for the Spring season.
Bicyclers are filling the streets as they, too, prepare for the Redlands Bicycle Classic, an annual Spring event.
It is a myth that Southern California dies not have seasons. We do. Our seasons just have a different character than those in more northern areas of the country. Actually, we sometimes experience all four seasons in one day. Freezing at night, warmer in the morning, hot in the afternoon and cool in the early evening. And none of this weather gets as extreme as the places who tout the beauty of their seasonal changes.
