Paonia! Amazing!
I think there is a lot more contiguous mountainous and meadows area near Wyoming, with fewer humans. But that's me doodling

There are a couple of large ones in front the Seattle Tilth Alliance building, and my neighbors have a small one in their front yard. I'd never seen them before, but, apparently, they were popular in the UK at some point, too.

That's funny. My mother was a dismal cook, growing up in a home where there was always a cook. My dad used to say that he had to teach her how to boil water. (But he never did cook for us himself). I started cooking for the family at 8 as well! Aside from a couple of mishaps, I was soon the one who did all the dinners, until my other sisters learned how to cook, sort of. But my baby sister blossomed into a good cook, and we still sometimes have sunday special cooking competitions

I have a snack of almonds. Monty asks to share. I give him one which he politely holds in his mouth for a second and then spits out. Cookies are much better.
