I took the picture at right on our morning walk (Debi, and our field spaniels Mo’i and Lea). It’s common for us to be able to see fog or mist in the valleys to the west of us while on these walks. It’s a little less common, but certainly not uncommon, for the tendrils of mist and fog to waft their way to our house. And occasionally we get well and truly “socked in”.
This morning, as we left our house on our walk, the sun was out (the birds were chirping, too!). As we climbed the hill we normally walk up, and our views of the western valleys got more expansive, we saw the mist creeping our way. When we reached the top of the hill and turned around to come home, the mist crept toward us. The hill poking through the mist in the picture at right is about 200' higher than our house — which by this time was completely socked in. In the distance you can see Cajon Mountain.
As we walked back toward home, we decended right into that mist — and the next thing we knew, the world looked like the fogged-in scene at right. Kinda weird, to start out in the sunlight and come back in the fog!
The weather forecast claims that we have a 50% chance of showers tonight and tomorrow. Here’s hoping!
