We bought a dark orange pumpkin for Halloween, and Dulcinea became deeply interested in its flavor.

She also sampled the cattails in the marsh near our home, with frothy results.

She took just a few moments to pose with the pumpkin, and then she was off again, heading for the aspens.

Dulcinea’s first big hike, near Kenosha Pass.

We arrived at Kenosha just in time to see the leaves beginning to fall.
