Time to get outdoors!

The first day of spring was last Monday (March 20th, just in case anybody missed it like I did), and flowers of all kinds are beginning to blossom. My mom's garden is filled with her new buds and flowers, most notably on her Crabapple trees! These are exciting times, really. This is also the time of year when wildflowers are going to start popping up everywhere. I've been noticing poppies along 680 on my drives to the lake, and it's gotten me pretty excited for the months to come.

​It's a great time of the year to start getting outside again, and to kick it off, organizations like the Peninsula Open Space Trust are suggesting hikes and nature walks in the area. I was excited to see their advertisement this morning for their multitude of hiking trails in the Peninsula and South Bay, on which you can view the show of wildflowers that is about to come. I'm planning on trying to hit all of the trails in the next month or so, and I hope many of you do the same! To access their list of trails, including which wildflowers are found along which trails, follow the link below!
