sorry it has been several days since my last post. we have been very busy this week. these pictures are from a couple of nights ago when i played outside after my nap. during the summer, we would often play outside after my nap *about 430 or 500 pm* but now it gets dark so much earlier. mommy is going to have to come up with a different plan. but i had fun for the few minutes that we were outside. being outside later in the fall IS neat because i got to enjoy these colored lights on our back patio. i love them & yell out "colors!" i also enjoyed crunching through all the leaves. my eagle came outside too -- and he got VERY dirty. one of the new things i say is "fly, bird!" and of course, bird FLIES!! i also looked at the last of our purple flowers -- they are growing smaller & fewer as the weather gets colder. but i am ready for the cold!
