While the rest of the country shivers and digs out, we are enjoying what amounts to early spring in the Bay Area: The magnolias and pear trees are in bloom, if you like that kind of thing (I do!), and up in the foothills the earliest bloomers are out, including the uncommon western leatherwood, Henderson's shooting stars, warrior's plume, and milk maids (easy to take for granted). The buckeye leaves have sprung too– flowers to follow soon. Ferns in abundance, greening up as best they can in this year's dry wet season.
