I walked uptown to our public library late this morning. There was no pretending it wasn't autumn, with all the blue sky and a chilly breeze. I found other obvious evidence too. I picked up this leaf and it sort of made me feel all warm and fuzzy as a Canadian.

As I entered our building, I went to the mailboxes. Then, I found our voter information cards for the October, federal elections. I felt profoundly warm and fuzzy all over again.
