Yes, it`s a well concealed secret that even many locals have never come to fully realize. We get fooled by the green fields and bountiful orchards and vineyards, yet without human irrigation it would all be nothing but sage brush and cactus.

Nice spot!
Who's VW van is that? And Subaru legacy? They know their vehicles
Actually, those vehicles are two houses to the west of our A-Frame. They belong to a neighbor...We only have cars & trucks & motorcycles with US manufacturers' names. No offense meant, but our household doesn't drive Asian or European brands...
Gotcha. No offence taken. We won't get into that debate..lol. Buying a car is all about your experiences with that make. If you ever get a lemon you will likely never buy that brand again....

Feeling the Heat
Had a bit of snow yesterday, took a walk down the lanes near my home, took a few pics.

Do those few trees in the second picture actually stop the wind?
Hi Swedishchef,
as you can see, quite a lot of open farmland in the area, dont think the line of trees in the pic stop the wind much, they are just along a drainage ditch edging a field.
You can just see a pipe on the left from a pump in the corner of the field. A nice part of the country and close to the Lake District which is very beautiful, you may have seen it in the film Miss Potter starring Rene Zellweger.
Billy.
