The Green Has Finally Arrived

Winter is the time for the comforting green color of the countryside of the central valley of California. Usually beginning in late October or early November, this year the green came late - in early December because the rains were late.


Of course, the green only lasts until around early April at which time the poppies appear for awhile and then the seasonal grass dies away into May. This leaves the golden color of dry grass lands during the late spring, summer, and fall.


This picture was taken near our southeast property corner. No...the fence in the foreground does not run on the property line.


The house and shop are situated near the northwest corner of the property, which corner is situated on the knoll above the house.


Question to ponder: How long is the diagonal dimension of a square with sides of 1/4 mile each?

I guess no one is into math. I believe the answer is approx. 1866.761902 feet. I could be wrong though. (Now how many of you will finally do the problem just to check me!)
