In which Lucy and her Mom go on an Adventure

Remember that hill behind our house that I posted about? Yesterday it was gloriously sunny and got up to 62 degrees, so Lucy and I decided to climb the hill. Here we are! Off to go on our adventure!



At the top of the hill we found this little copse of trees



I don't know my trees very well, but these were really neat looking even in the middle of winter! I can't wait to see what they look like in the spring and fall.



And the view out over Eugene was magnificent:





We wandered down the path through the trees, and on the other side of the butte as it started to slope down we came across a cemetery:





The grave markers were so interesting to look at. Here's one from 1853

And another one with a family name on it. Any connection? Who knows!



All in all it was a fabulous little walk and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely. I know Eugene is not normally this glorious in the winter-time, but we're loving this abnormally warm weather!

Oh how fun! It's so beautiful! Are you all getting adjusted to a new place and town?
