Put your face to a Jeffrey pine on a hot Truckee afternoon and the bark smells like vanilla, one of the small facts that make this a good place to work outdoors. Natures Touch Outdoor Services spends those afternoons on lawn mowing, trimming, edging and yard cleanup in the neighborhoods scattered through the pines. Needles fall all season and drift into every corner; clearing them is half the job and it is what makes the other half show. The reward comes the moment the mower shuts off and the yard stands even and finished. Summer runs short in these mountains, so the weeks get used well.
