Spring has come to SoCal. No, it is still Dec.but we've had two inches of rain this month and the sun has u-turned and headed back this way and that is all it takes to bring spring back. Sure we have black frosts ahead of us, but the birds are in their "come hither" plumage, the Commorants have returned to Lindo Lake and the surrounding hills have changed from Rocky Road to Mint Chocolate Chip.
The perfume of orange blossums are already floating on the afternoon breeze and the Valencia oranges are ready to pick.
The chinaberry trees are budding through the last clinging leaves of 09 and the roses are gearing up for the first bloom of 2010.
The Mockingbirds are still not here, so we can't say its official, but the horses jump jump jumping around are calling it Spring.

That sounds good. We're bracing for a day of cold rain and sleet.
