Yes, we're known as the Evergreen State, which means to the Wetside the
East doesn't count, except to tax us so they can build more roads on the
Wetside. ;-)

Course now we're getting pretty green ourselves, they discovered grapes
LOVE our soil and weather, so we got tons of beautiful vineyards. I have
been a desert rat all my life, and I love sage, the smell of sage, etc. But
there is nothing prettier, in my mind, than a vineyard in the middle of all
that sage. The contrast, with our rolling hills. Beautiful.

Unfortunately that is California... but we have similar around us, not as
rugged. http://www.avalonwine.com/kiona-vineyard-325p.jpg
I was hoping to find the picture similar to the California one only with
the Columbia River in the background. Unfortunately no luck. ~ jan
