Falling

It's a sunny, model Fall morning today. Blue sky. A bit crisp but no frost. We haven't had a frost yet, although I hear the suburbs have. And the leaves are finally starting to show some colors beside green and brown. There are reds and oranges and yellows poking through. Not much. And certainly not vibrant. But there to announce the changing times anyway.

All life is changing. Lady is slowing down more and more and is just about completely blind. I think in the brightness of mid-day she can see shadows and has some sense of light and dark outside. But besides that it's all up to her nose now. She sleeps a lot but her appetite is fine and she still likes our walks (very slow these days) together. I take more walks now. One or two with Kooper for every one with Lady.
