Birr

The Willamette Valley has the kind of cold that chills to the bone - damp cold. With another huge rainstorm predicted for tomorrow, today became the annual holiday greens gathering day. Every year Kerstin and I head to the woods for wreath and swag making materials. Klara and Lupin joined us today.

 McKenzie's daughter, 11 year old, Lupin kept up with the other dogs all the way over the ridge and back.

Poor Klara is just the right height for Trask's unbridled affection. After she slipped, he just lowered himself and continued the kissing.
