-- yet I cant get water celery or hyacinths to grow :-( some of the
lilies dont do well either colorado goes crazy others which i dont know
thier name maintain and never bloom
and I still have green water, but im sure thats due to the larger amount
of sun we get here and the hi thin atmosphere 16 hrs and 6000 ft
tourists seem to turn into redskins in about an hour :-) esp arund noon
what I need is a couple bushels of duck weed to shade thsi lake
course I ll never see the pond or the Koi but will they be fat on all
that duckweed

That's it I'd be dead by nightfall!!
Grew up at sea level, surrounded by
high mountains.

You know, it does make a difference where you are
born and raised. I was born in Missouri - tried to get used
to the high plateau of western Nebraska. I left after 8
months. Headed right on back to Missouri. Western
Washington was wonderful though. I do love rain!

That's the truth. I don't feel comforable without the mountains
or hills surrounding me. Can't stand flat land.

Yeah, but they cannons!
One of the resorts in the San Juans, can't
remember which, but every night we'd walk
down to the waterfront and they'd set off
a cannon when the sun set..... boom!

Amazing, you have to be careful you don't end up in the pond while mowing.

Sunsets? You should have come to E.Washington for the sunsets. ;o) I only
like the woodsey areas for visiting/vacations, I get claustrophobic when I
can't see out and beyond, especially to watch the sky for on-coming
weather. ~ jan
