>We have mountains here, as you know, but it's just not the same. Ours are only green in March and maybe April, then brown the rest of the year, then on fire at some point, then green again. We see snow on our mountains once in a blue moon.
They're not brown, they're "golden". You want to see the difference, come up to central/eastern Washington in the summer ... now those hills are *brown*! <g>
