I also love watching the skies. Sometimes I fast forward so I can see the clouds moving across the sky and the light changing. It is flat. Super flat here. It feels like we are on the sea.

Yes! I hope to catch one of those summer storms in video one day - we have corn in the fields this summer so you will HEAR it coming too!

I live in the Blue Ridge Mtns. with hardwood forests all around. and on very clear days I can see the greater Smoky Mountains beyond. When I go home to my native Bluegrass State of rolling hills, I miss the mountains standing tall. I lived for some years in Wisconsin & Illinois but always along Lake Michigan so there were some hills & bluffs & huge elms & I was not very aware of the flat prairie land except driving down through long, long Indiana to get home to Kentucky. What mountains & forests do you see all around you, Deb?

And I have never been as far west as you, Deb but I have seen pictures of your gorgeous Cascades & their mighty forests. It is very dramatic & scenic country. The Blue Ridge being the oldest mountains in the world, so they say, are heavily eroded ancient Alps or Rockies. But now they are comparatively gentle forested highlands with some peaks above the tree line that can be viewed snow-capped in the distance when the snow everywhere below has melted. And in summer there are many days when the famous Blue haze of their name drifts all about the heights. Yes, I think you would find them to be very lovely, homey old mountains.
