Reds and Oranges
Sid and I hope you all had a nice Halloween and that your treat bounties were plentiful. Sid did enter the South Andersonville Neighborhood Association’s dog costume contest again this year but the weather was really lousy. It was rainy and cold so most dogs were soaking wet and shivering. I think Sid’s lion mane came in handy as it kept the water off his face and kept his head toasty! We didn’t win any of the prizes but I think Sid enjoyed parading around with the other costumed pets.
Fall is in full effect here in Chicago and despite the lousy weather on Halloween day every other day has been exceptionally gorgeous. We took a trip to a park that is about a mile away from our apartment and flanks the Chicago River. It’s the aptly named “River Park”.
I love that retro-looking sign!
Sid had a great time running through the fallen leaves and sniffing all those fragrant Autumn scents.
Although he was able to get pretty close to the river there was a fence that prevented him from taking a dip.
River Park is filled with trees of all sizes. Many of them were lovely shades of orange and red. Have the leaves started changing color where you live?
We’re going to try to get over to River Park at least once a week to see all the trees change color this month!

You were robbed in that costume contest, Sid. Chicago has some of the nicest parks. Glad you get out and enjoy them!
