There are very few redeeming values to this weird time of year. I mean its cold like winter, its wet like a typical Spring, there is an occasional hot day like Summer but it comes with NO warning, 55 degrees one day, 78 degrees the next! making them just about unbearable! - So basically, just blah and weird and hard to plan things, time of year....
But as I said there ARE a few positives: First off, there are flowers EVERYWHERE! OOH And the leaves have come back to the trees! And and! on those unbearably hot days - the sky is clear and we can see mountains on all sides.
This one is my favorite, its the buttercup. They grow in everyone's yard, and only stay up for about a month....
These pink trees are awesome! I have no idea which kind this is (there are many different kinds of pink-flowering, deciduous trees in this area). They are all over our neighborhood!
Its hard to get a picture of them without stopping in the middle of a road... so this will have to do... you can't hardly see them here, which doesn't do them justice. But they are an epic sight!
I don't care what June 21st thinks it brought about... The Summer Solstice had no idea where it was... Sure, it may have been the longest day of the year, and yes the dances the hippy's did at the Solstice Parade last Saturday worked, but yeah... it was all a tease... 77 degrees, sunny with not a cloud in the sky yesterday, and now today, just 8 short hours later we're back to 60 something, cloudy, misery..... Summer my ass....
All I have to say is: Bring it on Sprimmer! Bring it on!
