I notice they have a visitor's center.<BR/><BR/>Oh, yes, and we commented to each other about the Angeles National Forest - how on earth can they call that a forest? And we've native Southern Californians. <BR/><BR/>We just love all the green, green northern Cal, and Oregon and Washington.Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-58743077444643686492007-11-28T17:04:00.000-08:002007-11-28T17:04:00.000-08:00Willow,I have never been to California, but think ...Willow,<BR/><BR/>I have never been to California, but think that gold color would be hard to get used to. I'm so used to green, just as you were.<BR/><BR/>Glad to hear from you and thanks for stopping over and commenting on my farm post. Yes, the farm is fun even when it is freezing out.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08175754179624182953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-67684008321639427552007-11-28T14:47:00.000-08:002007-11-28T14:47:00.000-08:00Yes, and how very golden brown it's been this year...Yes, and how very golden brown it's been this year with so little rain. Was it just last winter that there was 30" of rain recorded in LA - double the norm?

I grew up with a backyard that went right into our local park and I spent many years hiking and finding comfort in nature. Moving to PA and the country, it seemed there were endless miles of farm fields with hardly any trees! So much for "nature"! Now my house backs into some woods and I am happy again!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-78439232576274945382007-11-28T07:04:00.000-08:002007-11-28T07:04:00.000-08:00I have never see the Grapevine.
