And I'll bet the ranchers' barbed wire and cattle squeezes, and the riders' trailers don't rust into oblivion like they do on the central coast of California (from the salt spray in the air.)  We usually have enough rain to green up the grass, as it is now.  We've already had nearly 2" out of a normal 32" a year, and the grass is growing like gangbusters.  However, if it doesn't rain again soon, we'll be in trouble again.

I love high desert country...there is no fog like there is on the coast, and it's warm enough in the summer to have a BBQ outdoors.  Downside:  hot in summer, cold in winter.  But there is a huge charm about the high desert.  That would be my second choice of a place to live, if I weren't so deeply rooted here.

When you live in the Owyhee Desert you remove the color green from the spectrum. But then, cattle and horses thrive on what is there.

 

This is not merry old England nor the Eastern USA. And our tack does not get moldy and we can bale our hay the same day it is cut.

Does it ever green up in Owyhee country?  This looks so bleakly gray...
