Since you know all about the four-year drought that finally broke in the
Mid-Atlantic region, I'll tell you a little story.

We had a friend who moved from Central Va. to Sante Fe last year. Not far
from Albuquerque, not sure of the distance. She moved from one bad drought
to an even worse one, according to her. Water restrictions and all.

Since you are the 'Madgardener', you might want to really consider that part
of the equation.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best.
