From your description, Lennie, I assume you are living west of the 
Cascades.  I lived in east-central Oregon where we only had about 
18 inches of precipitation a year, it sometimes got down to -20°F. in 
bad winters, up to 100°F. most summers, and rhododendons, 
azaleas, and ferns were non-existent.  We did have good fishing in 
the river and herds of elk and deer on our ranch.   Antelope were 
seen not many miles away.
