@soliloquized Oh, you lucky duck. We lived in Seattle for 11 years and then to San Diego for 5 and then back to Seattle. I miss the weather and ocean in SD, but would not live there again. Too many people. Great place to vacation though. I really miss Seattle with the beautiful Mt. Rainier and Cascades. What rain? I live in Iowa now, my home state, but I swear it's over cast and just as rainy here. Finally our trees leafed out. We have had a cool Spring. I'm jealous and miss Issaquah and Bellevue.

Most of the Trees here are in leaves. We had a Staghorn Sumac start from seed, by the bird feeders. We're going to try to manage its size. It's over 5 feet tall now, and I almost fainted last fall when I found all the "branches" on the ground. Turns out, the Leaf is actually a long stem with several leaves on it, so it lost its "Leaves" and not it's "Branches". Nearby we planted a Persian Parrotia, beautiful tree, this one is small yet, but we just moved here and had it planted, it was a good start from the nursery. At our previous house, we had an advanced start Persian Parrotia planted, it grew nicely sized, but compact still, over the 15 years we were there. And we had a Thundercloud Plum tree planted as well, but it was starting to develop issues. The Persian Parrotia is largely immune to many of the current tree diseases. We love trees.

I wish the warmer weather would start.
