Warm First Day of Spring A Welcome Sight

Today is the first day of spring, which means winter is technically over and warmer weather is just around the corner.  

Today’s vernal equinox is the day when the Sun passes the equator from south to north, initiating spring in the northern hemisphere. Temperatures will soon begin to rise and plants will bloom with force.

But it won't happen overnight. It’s actually expected to rain in the region for three of the next five days, and the temperature might not even crack 60 degrees. But that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning for the months ahead.

This week, my wife and I planned three camping trips (Sequoia, Coloma and Leo Carrillo). We’ve also got our friends’ wedding in the East Bay scheduled and a trip to her family’s house in Orange County on the calendar.

Without a doubt, several other trips will be booked soon. In no time, we’ll be complaining about the 95-degree heat and longing for a nice, cool breeze and some rain, (which I’ve been cursing after every bike ride for about a week).

With spring here and summer around the corner, what have you got planned? Share in the comments below.
