Leaves

Today, Jared and I walked back to my apartment after his voice lesson. On our way back Jared was practically giddy about how beautiful the weather has been recently. The leaves are gorgeous, there's snow on the mountains, and the sun is shining. His enthusiasm for all different seasons really is infectious and I was feeling it to. We like to walk down the stairs that are west of the Maser building when we're heading to my apartment, and on the way we have to walk past a big hill. Today there were piles of leaves at the top of the hill. I told Jared that the leaf piles made me want to jump in them and roll down the hill. His response was to cross the road, take off his backpack, and roll down the hill. We left the leaf piles in tact (grounds crew would not thank us if they had to rake them twice) and rolled down the hill several times. I tried to show Jared how I'd managed to role down the hill straight and ended up with my head downhill and my feet uphill so I gave up. Then we decided we needed to be productive so we came home. I love those times of spontaneity that make life so wonderful!
