Today, I left my apartment after a relative sleep-in (which was glorious) only to find it spitting rain. Scrapping my well-intentioned decision to ride my bike to work and therefore be kind to the environment, I walked toward the Gradplex parking lot with my head down, trying to keep the rain off my glasses, which is by far the most annoying thing about wearing glasses in the first place. As I was staring at my shoes, I came across a pile of leaves, and realized they were a brilliant yellow. I forced myself to look up, and realized that I had totally missed the leaves changing color. It's not as brilliant as I've seen some places before, but a good deal of the trees around the Gradplex were lovely shades of non-green. It made me realize that, perhaps, I've not been taking enough time to enjoy the small things and notice that, in fact, the seasons are changing.
Then it continued to rain all day, making all walks outside miserable. C'est la vie.
