Spring is nearly over! We are here (Foothills of the Sierra Nevada, USA) most likely in the last week of beautiful flowers, green and colorful grasses, and mild temperatures. The hot weather is already waiting around the corner, pushed by global warming (YES, there is man-made global overcooking ongoing!). When I first visited in 1970s from Germany, I could not get enough of the hot weather. A fact at that time fueled by often mostly rainy and cold summers in Central Europe. As you know, those days are over.
Let’s get to flowers and grasses. Enjoy!
