"Oh," cried Marianne, "with what transporting sensations have I formerly seen them fall! How have I delighted as I walked to see them driven in showers about me by the wind! What feelings have they, the season, the air, altogether inspired! Now there is no one to regard them. They are seen only as a nuisance, swept hastily off, and driven as much as possible from the sight."
"It is not everyone," said Elinor, "who has your passion for dead leaves."
-Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen
oh, Austria....
OK this is the 3rd time I am trying to leave a message. If you get multiple messages...I'm sorry. This is Julie Schmidt, Nolan's Mom. I just want you to know how much I love reading your blog. You are an amazing writer who has a real talent for drawing the reader in...to devour every word you are writing. If you haven't considered journalism as a profession, you might want to :) Nolan tells me how much he enjoys your company so thanks for being such a great friend on this amazing journey. All the best!!
