This is the time of year when wildflowers carpet the landscape of the Central Coast in vivid blues, yellows, purples and golds. We always try to find time for a drive around Santa Margarita and Pozo to view this annual (assuming enough rainfall) event. Lupine, poppies, owl's clover, wild larkspur, scarlet pimpernel, buttercups, shooting stars, and dozens more - including those tiny, beautiful light blue ones that I can never remember the name of.
For about 20 years I lived near Pozo in the eastern part of San Luis Obispo County - it was terribly hot in the summer (100's+) and miserably cold in the winter (teens at night - in an uninsulated mobile home with one small wood stove for heat) but for a few months in the spring, when the wildflowers bloomed and everything was green, it was a delight!
