Spring is wonderful, isn’t it? I feel like it’s a small gift from the universe to keep me going until summer arrives.

It’s often said that we don’t experience seasons here in Southern California, and while we definitely don’t usher in winter with a blanket of snow, or fall with a spectacular parade of changing colors, we do notice slight and subtle shifts in the air.
