Looking back at PA from a distance

[dusty trails]

14. "...all the trees and green"

That's what hits me the most on my too few trips north ~~> how green it is.
Here in New Mexico we do have forested mountains, but in Albuquerque it's quite barren except on Kirtland Air Force base or at the veterans' hospital where there's plenty of green grass and trees.

Many of the cemeteries here are depressing (without grass) bare dirt, gravel, and rocks ala "Boot Hill".

And we do have four seasons here in Albuquerque, which is a mile high city, although in a "high desert'.
Winters can get into the 20's at night, but usually rise into the 50's in the day.
Springs are the windy season. Summer is the monsoon (Ha Ha - we're in a severe drought).
And fall is beautiful.

In recall the heat AND humidity of PA. Heat without humidity is preferable to me.
