We went on a walk today, a beautiful and exceptionally warm day, perfect for going down to the river through the Arboretum. Various improvements have appeared in the Arb lately. We've noticed that a boardwalk was under construction. Today it was open.
Another new facility: check out the drinking fountain for dogs, next to the one for people. You run water quickly into the dog-level bowl, and the water runs out very slowly so that the dog can drink. Dogs, of course, don't mind sharing a bowl -- they have sterile mouths.
The new steps down to the river have been in place for a couple of years. Today a number of kayaks were going by, while kids waded in the water. One group managed to turn their kayaks over in the shallow part of the river in front of the steps, and fooled around trying to empty the water out of them.
The tall grass and reeds are very dry, and of course the leaves are turning yellow and orange.
