Successful Seasons

~Full Screen: Opens in Separate Window~

What a winter... over 70 inches of rain so far (and still falling as I type), and nearly 7000 pounds of citrus out the door. We finally "sold out" for all intents and purposes of full size oranges, mandarins and lemons yesterday.

The winter's weather included the President's Week Snowpocalypse, which blanketed the Santa Cruz mountains with 8-14" of the white stuff depending on elevation, as well as a carpet of power outages and broken limbs. The cleanup is still ongoing and was only compounded by last week's "bomb cyclone," which came equipped with whipping winds, power outages and blocked roads of its own!

Between squalls, the sun is becoming an ever more present visitor. Yesterday was outright warm. Birds are busy, buds are breaking, and plants are flowering everywhere... Already looking forward to mulberries!
