Spring's Early Blooms
Get outside and discover the first glimpses of spring
As our nation practices social distancing, and we prepare to spend a lot of time at home, I am trying to steal as much time as I can by walking in my neighborhood and nearby Huntington Gardens. Early signs of spring are already peeking out here and there.
Southern California is unique in that our temperatures fluctuate in wild swings: today, it could be raining, and tomorrow the sun shines from morning until night. Therefore, spring may appear much earlier than our friends on the east coast. Here are a few of the sights I've seen.
The pink blossoms are so intriguing juxtaposed to the green.
“Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring? ”
Even the slightest color of spring gets me excited.
A hedge dripping with orange blossoms lines a border wall.
I hope you can take in the sights and scents of spring.
The scent of wisteria can be so intoxicating.
The purple blooms droop with grace.
Stay well! Spring is around the corner.
If your travel plans take you to Southern California, I highly recommend visiting the Huntington Library and Gardens in San Marino.

Tinted moisturizers are popular in the summertime when just a little coverage is needed and SPF is a must. We’ve reviewed three that have a little something for everyone. We hope you find one to love.
