In this country the animals

have the faces of

animals.

Their eyes

flash once in car headlights

and are gone.

Their deaths are not elegant.

They have the faces of

no-one.

from "the animals in that country" by margaret atwood

The dog park near my home, which forms the focus of my outings with my own canine, has fully done away with green grass. Yellow dry stalks of dead and dying tall grass wave in the wind. The larches match my hair colour (which I bleached on Monday, so it is a nice hearty orangey-blondey bouquet at present moment of writing). All Hallow's Eve fast approaches. The Harvest is ready. We shall all reap what we have sown. So, uhh...buckle up, have fun, and get as wild as you want (safely - dress for the weather!) in the dark of our steadily lengthening nights!
