Sunday report

aloft The leaves around suburbia have been colorful this last week, but we won't be able to go to our woods until this coming weekend. Given that Roundrock is a hundred miles to the south, maybe will still get some display down there by then.

The next Festival of the Trees will be hosted by Blog do Avores Vivas, from Brazil. This is Juliana's second time as host, and her theme is "if I were a tree." Her fast-approaching deadline for submissions (of your own posts or links to posts you've found) is October 29. You can send your submissions to avoresvivas (at) gmail (dot) com. We're always on the lookout for new hosts for the Festival. It's a fun way to steer more traffic to your fine blog and meet new friends. Dave and I will give you all the help you need. Just let me know if you're interested.

Obligatory Flike Update: My pup continues to make big improvement in his social skills. He plays with Queequeg all the time. He comes when I call him (most of the time) and wags his tail in greeting. He's even tried to engage Max in play, but Max isn't interested (yet). We took them all on a short walk down the block; that was a three-leash circus, but he's learning. He's still too young for obedience class, but he is very smart, and he's going to be very big, so we certainly want to get him under control early.
