“With the coming of spring, I am calm again.” Gustav Mahler

The darkness and emptiness of winter is lifted by the brightness of spring that somehow brings calm and eases anxiety. The winter rains in California seemed to go on forever, but they were so worth it – filling up the groundwater and creating a wildflower explosion of superblooms everywhere. Girlchild2 was lucky enough to picnic beside (note: not recklessly in) the blooms of Santa Margarita a couple of weeks ago. It looks as though the landscape had been painted a bright and happy yellow to welcome Spring in. I am calm again!

  1. What a view for a picknick! As you move into Summer I can feel us quickly slipping into Winter in the Eastern Cape.
