So we lost Harry. Don't predict whats comming here from the heat. I know. I'd rather write about the mountians.

Awesome that at least some flowers grow in the shade. Sometimes it is hard to get any to grow there either. Thanks for sharing this contest entry that reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Your visit to my page added just the right touch. Sara
