Glorious Daffodils! Is there any other symbol of Spring that is as beautiful and happy than a daffodil? Their little trumpets raised towards the sun announcing that warmer weather and longer days are not so far away. The daffodils in the picture welcomed you to the Antique Hotel store in Big Pine, CA on highway 395. I found a sweet Ross Originals pottery vase of a bird perched on top of a branch. Just large enough for a bloom or two and the perfect find on a Spring themed jaunt.
The Sierra Nevada mountains are all covered in white but the lower foothills all have a tint of green. Tufts of grass are coming up by the side of the road. We decided to get out of town and headed south early. The Eastern California Museum in Independence is just setting up for the Inyo County Pioneering Women:Faces Through History, exhibit. It officially starts at the museum on March 27th and goes through September 6th. These amazing, strong women helped to carve out a life for themselves and their families in the Sierra. There will be lectures and exhibits celebrating women throughout the Sierra from Ridgecrest to Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes to Shoshone (a place I admit I have yet to visit). The stories and lives of these women are inspirational. The program is being organized by the Eastern Sierra Cultural Heritage Alliance. Bravo!
We love exploring as most of you know and that is part of our "Blooming Where You are Planted" philosophy. Get out there and learn about the history of the place you call home. See who came before and blazed the path. Spring symbolizes new beginnings and hope, creating and newness!
See your environment through new eyes no matter how long you have lived there. Look for signs of Life!
