And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Tatoosh Range, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington State
There's a little piece of "God's Country" all over America, but we've been blessed with more than we deserve here in Washington state. Back in the day every school-aged child knew the names of all the mountain wild flowers. I still remember them. When you can see Mt. Rainier from afar, not covered by clouds, we say, "The mountain is out."
Out here in the plains of Colorado, if we get a wet spring, our fields look like this. Full of beautiful flowers.
