Signs of Fall

Although the weather remains hot during the day, without a hint of a nip, the nights are now cool, and it suddenly is dark earlier and earlier. There's a path that Jenny Lind, XieXie and I have made, by taking one step at a time twice a day for two years. XieXie's catlike tread doesn't leave much of a mark and besides he wanders off trail more than Jenny Lind and I do, creatures of habit that we both are. This morning, I was surprised to see the path completely buried in oak leaves. Surprised, because the oaks are still very green, and because it happened so fast. 

Is this not only a weather change, but a sign that we are embarking on a new path?
