Now that it’s already August and the dog days of summer are here, I took Reggie for a walk and swim at Goose Pond on Tuesday afternoon after I’d taught my morning summer school class. This is the last week of the summer term at Keene State, which means in a few weeks my students and I will be headed back to school for the fall term. These days, time seems as slippery and elusive as a wet dog.
If you don’t believe me when I say it’s only a few weeks until fall, don’t take my word for it. Listen instead to the mute testimony of the season’s first changed and fallen leaf.

That looks so refreshing! I trust Reggie enjoyed his swim. But – no swim for yourself?

Oh, I waded, which is all Reggie ever does, as well. I hadn’t brought a swimsuit or towel, and I didn’t have time on Tuesday to sit and “air-dry.” But now that summer school is ending, I should have more time to “dog-paddle.” 🙂

We’ll have to plan an outing before you get busy again. And yes, I can get away if I have some advance notice!

Let me know when you can get away, and we’ll see whether our schedules mesh.
