there's a chill in the air, if only

today is the first day of fall, reader, and the baron is happy about this turn of seasonal events. crisp, clear days are coming - the kinds of days that, from indoors, trick you into thinking no jacket is needed. also, fall is the best time for clothes, wool ones and tweed ones and corduroy ones, in browns and greens and yellows and oranges. the pet industry marketing people know this too, and fools like the baron just buy RIGHT INTO IT.

mid-70s saturday, the day the husband came home, was one of those good fall days, cool enough for a sweater, even in the sun. high-70s sunday, less so. sunday's higher temperature didn't stop the baron and the husband, though, from picking up this fall-appropriate item for harlan.



and the close-up.



and, the tag attached to the sweater, the tag that really SOLD them on the sweater for harlan...
