I had a dream last night that Emmy and I went flower picking. The weather has been less than cooperative lately, but today was the epitome of a perfect Fall day. Clear skies and crisp, windy air. Em and I took a walk around our neighborhood early this morning with a basket and I pointed flowers out for her to smell and feel, taking one or two in my basket each time. We didn't end up with more than some pretty weeds and some wild mint, but they're all sitting in a vase next to me on the desk and they're beautiful. 

We stopped to take some photos in a huge field that was dotted with yellow flowers. Em was a good sport for being up all night.. She literally woke up at midnight and looked at M and I with a "hey what're you guys up to?!" look, so we let her hang out with us for a few minutes and share our late night snack before all going to bed. Of course she was up about every hour to two hours after that! She has only wanted to be in her sling today so I appreciated her taking interest in the flowers long enough for me to get some photos -- even if it was feigned interest for mama's sake.
