Wondrous Thing

This week is a zoo. A messy, complicated zoo. All of my students are taking midterms, which means I'm grading and writing midterm reports like there is no tomorrow. I'm trying to get everything in place for our week long adventure, which means packing and making arrangements for the zoo we have here at home. Add the normal housework, homework, and play dates, and I'm drowning and exhausted.
 
In the midst of all of this, though, I see this:
Fall color. I can't help but breathe a little deeper and smile a little every time I see it. As I'm driving to see all my student teachers, the trees are ablaze, and I feel peace. It's a wondrous thing.
