Another beautiful Fall day and enough clouds in the right places for the first rosy alpenglo of Fall. I was out with Bear when it started and it can be fleeting so did not go back for my camera. Above is from the phone camera. A little soft but the color is true.

**Bear and Bob notes:
As the days get shorter and the nights longer, we are all adjusting. Sunset is 6:20 p.m. and Sunrise 8:20 a.m..

Although Bear settled down for bedtime during the summer when bedtime was often still in daylight, now that there is more dark, he sometimes stays with me in the office or kitchen, but more often than not, goes to bed when we come in at sunset. He will go out for a before bedtime outing if I show him his lighted collar but does not ask to go out and I sometimes have to wake him :)! In the morning, he will wag his tail and give me kisses…from his bed, but unless I coax he is happy to stay in until it gets light…so I let him! Bob has his quick outing for morning business, breakfast and then he goes back to bed as well. I get a couple of hours to have a bit of quiet time, cook or bake and work a bit before a morning break outside with Bear. Not a bad routine. We’ll see what happens when we get snow on the ground!
