Despite [or maybe because of] a warm dry winter followed by generous spring rains it became a good grass year on the desert…with no ticks; ticks were replaced by an unprecedented influx of Miller moths which persisted until [exactly] the first of July.  It was also a good snake year, fish year, sculpture park year and dog year, with a little studio time thrown in…
