october 2025.

after the whirlwind that was september, i appreciated that october took its time. it’s always my favorite month, full of fall weather and changing leaves and halloween decorations and everyone generally having a little pep in their step.

october highlights included — aforementioned lovely fall weather // vishnu was in town for a day // spent some evenings walking fred the dog // lots of long walks and even a few runs around the neighborhood // a weekend of dogsitting bear and lucy // diwali dinner // lots of cooking adventures // dinner date with ro // general good times and merriment
