Today I am a serious sort of little red dog. It seems like a seriously autumnal day. The wind is rushing through the high branches with a threat of what is to come. A solitary brown creeper spirals up a tree trunk. Leaves shiver on their stems and scuttle along the ground. The chipmunks have disappeared for the season and the birds that were hawking for bugs yesterday are nowhere in sight today. It is a day when children try out their Halloween costumes a few days early and a day when little red dogs bark at little red devils and witches because they don't recognize them as the kids next door.
It is a day that makes you wish you knew how to read. Or at least a day to be glad to live with a Person who knows how to read because today is a good day to curl up on the couch with a book.
