Well, having come from the SW, South Plains of Texas and Oklahoma, moss growing on the roof of a house has been a new phenomenon for me since coming to Spokane.  So maybe those of us in the Inland NW can have a mini-badge.  Of course, if Texas and Oklahoma could spread out the rain that they get one spring out of five (like this year) over a whole decade, and spread the spring rain out over the whole year, moss might grow on the roof there, too.

The search for property has been more difficult than I expected it to be.  Driest May ever here, too.  In fact, dry the whole year so far, almost no snow this winter.  Typically when I have visited in May, a glance to the N or E would reveal snow covered mountains.  The mountain snow was essentially gone in March this year.  mcneely
