What passes for winter in Three Rivers is probably what many parts of the country regard as springtime. When we get rain, we get green.
We get flowers too.
And, we get lichen. Well, we already had that, but I’m on a roll here, taking photos while walking.
An old friend told me she was envious that I get to live in Three Rivers. In order to help her feel better, I told her this:
“There are elements of 3R that aren’t so great, such as frequent power outages (more frequent than towns down the hill), smoke in the fall, evacuations during wildfires, unreliable and spotty cell service, phone and internet outages, occasional water outages, no dentist, no drug store, expensive groceries, only 3 churches to choose from, shrinking population, Park closures that adversely affect commerce, limited commercial choices (is this a bad thing?).”
She felt better.

I thought of you as I was walking up the ramp on the left side of the Memorial Building recently. The view down through that little gully off the the left is so GREEN! It’s right there close to your house and yet looks like it’s way out in the country. The trees and the grass are really pretty!
No kidding, Nikki! It almost looks fake with the intensely bright green. I always want to prune that gully, haul out some brush, arrange some of the rocks, put in a few benches. . .
