My heart and brain are too tired from teaching to say much, which makes me sad. However, Ross and I took a trip to New Hampster (tm Molly) today to enjoy the foliage, which makes me happy. Also, I drove for an hour on the highway coming back! It was quite exhilarating, and not very stressful since the roads were generally empty for most of the way. Here are some pictures of the colours we saw today:

Standing in the middle of all that gold and fire and crayon orange, I kept thinking: If only I could take my kids out here every day, I bet they’d be calmer, happier, better human beings.

On the other hand, perhaps they’d just find a way to turn the leaves into projectile weapons of some kind.
