Winter Walk

Tuck and I walked through the Pisgah Arboretum, soaking in the last rays of the sun that pierced through the trees.  We identified and tasted some sweet, licorice flavored fern roots that turned out to be quite bitter when we bit into them too far.  Tuck noted the REALLY tall trees, and I lifted him up to feel the scrubby moss that hung from the leafless oaks along the path.  Although we experienced some stunning Willamette Valley nature, Tuck's favorite part was sliding downhill on patches of leftover snow.
