fog in the willamette valley

as i drove through the farming country of the Willamette Valley early this afternoon i was reminded of how beautiful Oregon is in the winter despite the rain and the cold. when the sun is just right and there is fog it can be a beautiful combination mixed with the green of the trees. i am truly blessed to have grown up in this area and each time i come home i appreciate it even more. pabu is thoroughly enjoying the cold weather, the wet leaves around him, wet grass, and the mud. a weekly bath may not be enough to keep him clean!
