April is a lovely month exploding with flowers, late rain showers and green everywhere. It’s what our summer months would look like if the rains didn’t suddenly shut their spouts for the season. Fortunately, our Sierra snowpack is robust, which means that we can go another year without a drought overshadowing our daily lives. We can make our way to local nurseries and pick up loads of impatiens and other colorful plants to tuck into our garden beds. Spring also brings the great game of baseball, and some of the best action is found at your nearby parks, watching high-spirited kids swing, hit and catch as they play Little League ball. “Spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.” —Bishop Reginald Heber welcome back
