lulu and shadow me under the gingko tree.

 i walk upstairs to the top and over and walk down six flights to get lulu. on the way i see a scottie in a diaper who barks at me. when the elevator comes the scottie is on it so we walk down eleven flights. outside by the garbage we see the scottie coming without a diaper. i wished i'd had the presence of mind to take a picture of the barking schnauzer in a diaper. i remember einstein, the miniature barking schnauzer, and i picture einstein in a diaper, barking hoarsely at mister. the end of turtle and duck pond is a blanket of gingko leaves. some leaves are left and others are blown into piles and stuffed into plastic bags. some places without leaves are bare dirt and that makes me sad. i love the light of the leaves and the reflection in lulu's eyes.
