And then, all of a sudden, it started to rain. It had been an exceptionally hot summer, so everyone was hoping for rain, but it still caught us all by surprise. For a few days, it remained warm and humid, but within a week, autumn arrived. It’s not that everything turned brown right away, but the colors began to shift, and bright green was no longer as common. Going for a daily walk with Balthazar lets me witness the changing seasons and appreciate them—even if some seeds cling to his fur and bother him, especially when they get caught in his beard. So after every walk, I’m on duty to help pull them out.
