Some people agonize over what clothes to wear when they get dressed in the morning. Thanks to my sister's generosity (and good taste), I face the dilemma of which Swatch to wear--every day. These are my latest choices. This is a fraction of my Swatch collection, I've narrowed it dow to these. Well, wait, I have 2 others that I mix in with the bunch, too.

No, really, maybe you don't get just how complicated this is--

I've started walking the bog again. It's wearing autumn clothes now. The ferns are such pretty colors. The dogs love it--Tess either walks next to me on an invisible leash, runs ahead with Chances like a team of horses, or swishes back & forth, right to left, left to right, behind me. She's a girl who loves patterns.

Anyway, there's peace in the neighborhood. Even if there was a mountain lion at the foot of the lake earlier, stalking the horses. Labs are too small a morsel, and besides, why would a mtn lion come to my house--it's so messy?

She thinks the walk in is great & bounds ahead, runs like thunder. The walk out, however, is as long as the walk across America that Granny Dee made. She yowls and wowls the whole way. Sometimes she just collapses.

Linda knows all about mushrooms--names, degrees of poisonessness, degress of deliciousness, etc. I told her about these & said they look like WWII helmets. She said "German?" I guess that's about as good a description as any.

Oh, they just look so cute. I don't know what it is, they're just all cuddled up together.

Not to worry, things have improved. Cheery friends, beautiful weather, sweetie dogs, lots of boat house time, perspective, etc. Passage of time. Lots of beauty in my life. Still miss my lost people, sad news of others, but I'm ok.

I think sunrises like this are pretty gaudy, but when you watch them you're impressed. This was today. The sun now rises on the opposite side of the mountain--in July it was coming up on the left shoulder, now we're right-handed.

There are things to tell, anecdotes to share.

And then there's Frank, Lin's new beagle. Who can resist a face like this? When my father was really pleased with something he'd say it was "as pretty as a speckled pup." Frank qualifies in every respect.
