i can't stop thinking abt how weird it was yest. to step out of the house and, once i was across town, find myself amongst all the fallen autumn leaves

like it's so easy to forget that the world keeps spinning even though we're all stuck inside! it's wild! but there were all these big piles of leaves and i DID jump in at least one

it's also still surreal to see, bc where i grew up we had largely evergreens and the area was a lot wetter; what leaves did fall were quickly sodden and deteriorating into mush under the foot

whereas here, a lot of the trees shed their leaves and it makes for an astounding autumn display and is incidentally reliably grounding to me so that's a nice bonus

i do really really love this city and i'm glad to call it home despite everything
