The 12th straight day of over-75 F temperatures. Actually, my rear-deck
recording thermometer says 90 F temps were hit several times. Blue
skies every day, warm nights every night.

Even for California, this is a remarkable run of summer-like
temperatures, in _March_. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "the best summer I
ever spent in Northern California was the March I spent in Santa Cruz."

Today I worked with my tree worker on the "northern slope," the patch
of an acre or so of my property with a few dozen oaks and madrones on
it, bordered by two "fairy circles" (no, not that kind) of redwoods. My
land is mostly very steep, dropping nearly 250 feet from the area where
my house is to the redwood groves at the boundary. A lot of poison oak,
hazelnut bushes, fallen logs, ferns, and duff. Never cleared, as near
as I can tell. Until now.
