yes it is extremely dry when you can see dust here and this time a year is unusual but it's quite common because we do get dry spells where I live it's mostly dry the year-round we hardly get any rain at all here matter fact most houses in this country we do not have gutters I believe that we only get a couple of inches at our place a year the mountains around us get most of the rainfall and snow.

When I grow up I want to be like "G" and have a home on a small pond or reservoir. I turn 66 today and I hope to have it by 70. Dreams do come true.

happy birthday yes dreams do come true with God's blessing he brought me to the place where I live now we definitely will show up on your doorstep one day so don't be surprised looking forward in meeting you for sure hope that we can hook up with G also Merry Christmas Mike.

I understand exactly where You are geographically Bob. I have a cousin that moved out to Washington State a few years ago and when I asked her about all the rain, she explained to me that she lived on the dry side of the mountains. The Appalachians do that to an extent here in NC but I live far enough east of the mountains that moisture will feed back up and regenerate from the gulf of Mexico after a front has been sapped out by crossing the mountains. It saves our bacon from drought a lot of times but when moisture flows are coming from out of our NW, then the mountains hurt us and we only get spotty showers and storms. Our best moisture streams are out of the South and Southwest Here.CF

I've enclosed a couple of pictures to show you what it looks like here in one of the pictures you can see the snow on the Hill if you look close enough also a picture of my river behind the house with plenty of ice it gets very hot here in the summer because we live in a canyon and it's completely rocks all around us plus most of the hot air blows right down the river canyons right to our place most of our storms come from the West and we get some out of the South if conditions are right most of our snowfall comes out of the West in North enjoyed the pictures.

the pictures are taken on Christmas Day this is our farm you cannot see all of it is too big but there is much beauty here I would have to go for a drive to give you an ideal lots of people from across the country come here to visit and enjoy the Hells Canyon area on the snake River.

Beautiful area Bob and I bet it is something else in the summer when everything is green. Thanks for the pics. We don't have hills around here. A hill here is about a two or three foot rise in elevation. Lots of swamps, trees. Big wooded areas. We are on the coastal plain. Ground is flat for miles but trees limit visibility unlike the midwest plains states. I live on the only freshwater Sound in the world.CF
