Spring has arrived here in the San Bernardino Mountains after a very hard winter.
Things are greening up, and it’s a lovely time to walk by the lake.
Cherry and apple trees are blooming.
Dogwood blossoms are forming on the dogwood trees. Soon there will be beautiful, large white flowers.
Patches of wild little yellow violets are blooming in sunny spots in the forest. And daffodils are showing their cheerful faces on the hillsides. The lilacs have put out little new green leaves, but no blooms yet. They’ll probably bloom in another week or so.The small clump of violets that I transplanted from my mother’s garden over 40 years ago are blooming. They’ve tried to spread throughout the garden, but the raccoons, cats and skunks keep squashing them. I had to cover this, the original clump, with a chicken wire cloche to save them (removed for the photo).
