Swinging into Springtime

by Summer

We have bounced into Springtime. A wondrous time of new growth, blossoms, pollinators and allergies! IMG_4385 I hope everyone is enjoying the fresh, crisp air and soaking up this sunshine! It’s prime time to dust off that bicycle seat and take a loop through a park, stroll through a forest and admire the new blooms.

Also right around the corner is Earth Day. How will you be celebrating?

Many opportunities exist throughout the country. Here in Sonoma County we are also blessed with many options.
