Fleeting

Being in the heart of fall means the sun sets earlier and earlier everyday. So for the past couple weeks I've been trying to rush home from work as quickly as possible to take the dog for a walk before the sun goes down at 6:07. That is, the days that it's not raining, so that actually doesn't end up being all that many days since this month has been insanely wet. Do you want to know how I know that this month has been rainy? Because the weather people on the news told me. I actually turned on the news and saw the headline that read "October A Wet Month" as if that fact never occurred to us when we... oh I don't know... needed an umbrella more often than not! But last night was a sunny, warm, crisp, leaf crunching and colorful walk with the dog and it was fabulous. King found it enjoyable too.
