Re: Our side yard

Glueguy, I agree that a long term stint in an agreeable location can, and will surplant that 'hometown' feeling for our place that we grew up. I can assure you, I really like your new 'home' area! I spent many years living in the Fortuna, Garbeville areas, and really like it, but the pot growers have kinda changed my attachment for it. My understanding is that is swinging back the other way now....I hope its true!
As for Coos Bay, Oregon, I've never liked the town! Both my brothers moved northeast to The Dalles and to La Grande, but I still like that 'drippy stuff' that falls out of the sky.

Hey! That's our ~back~ yard!

Where about are you located, Glueguy? Looks like the picture was taken from about Portola Park? We're down on Alpine Rd., on the south face of Mindego Hill, at about 1200' elevation.

It's funny finding someone so local here. Take care,

Re: Our side yard

I grew up in NYC. I dont think its attractive and I am repelled at the thought of living there. I did spend all my summers in Maine as a boy, and from that formative experience has developed a lifelong love of lakes, canoeing, rivers, mounains and woods.

I have lived and travelled all over the country. Considering climate, natural beauty, and things to do and see, I think Santa Barbara up through Oregon is unsurpassed.

Re: Our side yard

Just thought I would attach a pic of my wife's new rocker. She is still waiting axsiously to sit in it. It is set up, but figured it would be best to have an additional 24 hours for the finish to cure.

Re: Our side yard

Glad my wife's not in here to see that, Scruffy. We have two old wooden rockers and she's mentioned 2 or 3 times that "we" ought to refinish them. So far, I've just pretended that my hearing aids weren't turned up enough to hear her./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

We get snow about every other year or so. Last year we got 8" one day. 80% of it was melted by nightfall that day. Nearly 100% the day after that. However, two years ago we got 3" of snow that lasted for a whole week.

Needless to say, the climate is relatively warm (at least by some standards. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

If I can remember /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif, I will try to scan a pic we took during one of those little snow squalls...
