The day was dishwater gray, but that didn't keep me and Maeve from heading to the park for a walk.  Maeve met Airedale and a Jack Russell terriers and a poodle shmoodle wearing a raincoat, and she did a good job of staying calm.  Sometimes she gets a little scrappy around other dogs in a yappy way that says, "Short is a state of YOUR mind!"  Not today.  It seemed she was just so happy to be outside after so many bitter cold days that she wasn't going to argue with anybody or anything.

We came across this bittersweet  bursting with fall color.  Looking up, we didn't feel the cold quite so much.
