First day of autumn

serenissimaTwo years ago this month, someone surrendered our dog to the local Humane Society and noted his age as four years. That means he's at least six years old now. Happy birthday, goober.
It's been raining off and on since yesterday evening. This morning I decided to get up and start my day while the whelp was still asleep. When I went downstairs and opened the back door for Mungo to go out, he trotted over happily, then skidded to a stop about four feet away from the door when he saw how wet the back yard was, changed his mind and ambled back to bed. Poor desert-bred dog. :)
This week I've been taking the dog and the child for morning and evening walks. It seems to calm the whelp and help put him in a sleepy state of mind; morning nap or bedtime follows soon after. I was a little concerned about whether and how to go walking in the rain, but I decided to put the kiddo in the pack anyway and bring an umbrella. The rain let up long enough for us to go most of the way, and the umbrella kept him dry enough for the final block, although the dog and my trousers got damp.
The cool, wet weather is refreshing. The mountains are shrouded in mist. Almost makes it feel like we live someplace else.
