For daffodils spring began last month, for oaks it begins next month.  For singing robins and blooming Oregon grape it is now.  Whichever signal of spring you heed, the time’s they are a-changin’.

I MEET MY SHADOW

For the second time I got to meet “Shadow,” the Great Gray Owl who lives at Lindsay Museum in Walnut Creek.  Injured as a youngster back in Minnesota, Shadow has lived almost two decades as an educator and ambassador at Lindsay in Conrtra Costa  County, CA.  Last week I was at the museum…to talk Great Gray Owls.  If you are nearby, drop in and greet Shadow.
