Very warm wind

Wind from the Southwest rushed low-level, wispy clouds over us and brought weak sunshine.  Sparrows were first up.  A song sparrow poked around right outside the window.  Insects were soon flying.  The squirrels seemed to think it was Spring.  Turtles enjoyed the heat.  The tide went way out thanks to the wind from the Southwest.  Yellow jackets worked on the camellias.  One many-spotted ladybird beetle prowled on a camellia leaf.  I took a photo of my car thermometer to prove the temperature reached the high 70s.   It didn't break the record set in 2007, but it came within a couple of degrees.
