Blustery!

The most perennially delightful thing I saw today was a leaf on a third-floor carpet. 

There's a point each year when fall enters the building, when a couple of sometimes locked doors and a security guy are no match for the forces of nature. 

The willow trees outside have been quietly dropping their slender leaves. An all-night rain, and a rainy and windy morning, created the phenomenon that delights every year. 

Through the first set of glass doors -- willow leaves on the floor. 

Through the second set of doors and up the steps -- willow leaves in the lobby. 

Onto the elevator -- one willow leaf.

Up, up to the top floor ... Yes. The willow leaves have come to work, hitching rides on our shoes.
