As the rains visit Northern California, fresh green grass springs up on our hills.This is one of the confusing aspects for migrants living in this region.
Is it spring?
No, it is but a winter bloom. If we had enough sheep or goats on Bernal Hill, these sprouts would quickly be stripped.
But we don't, so the rains and dry periods will alternate, green and brown until (unless we have a drought), the rains win out, for an extended period, and our hills, like Bernal, stay green into the warm seasons.
