My dog, Carmelita, on the right, is less than thrilled with our new neighbor, Ivy, on the left. Her puppy energy is more than Carmelita cares to experience. :) She just moves away from the pup. Ivy is a 3 month old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier and will be about 30 lbs. when she is grown. Carmelita is 10-1/2 years old and weighs 9 lbs. :) I think Ivy is just precious. She is sweet and wiggly and comes running whenever she sees me.

Usually I pull up photos from my files, but this is one I took about an hour ago at the Aga Khan Museum Which is detail from this rug:

The name of this maple is "Autumn Blaze" ... I don't have many fire pictures.

Halloween dance last night, I wore a hoodie with the Grinch on it. I couldn't find anything green so I wore my purple wig and mask. The best part of Halloween dances is that I can ask someone to dance, and have no idea who they are. I told the Grim Reaper how much I loved his outfit and asked if he dances. He does and we danced a lot. He changed into the cuddly bear costume after a while.
