I found it hard to focus (the camera on the trees of course) when the day is so nice as this.

Trees in sand beds ready to pull for shipping.

I took the opportunity to escape the "War Room" where we line up and route all the trucks. I needed to rush some last minute order additions to the yard to pull for today's loads. Yes - we do add to your order right up to it getting on the truck.   A few minutes later I had to do it again and took the camera with me this time.

Persimmons in sand heeling beds. Snow capped Sierras in the background.

Needless to say, the urge to stay at the yard and pull trees was pretty strong just to enjoy the day.  Sorry to those of you in the blizzards and ice storms - there really are some redeeming reasons to live in California (and some reasons not to as well).  I expect fog will be on tap for tomorrow.  Today was just a teaser.
