Love/Hate Friday - Post-Vacation Edition

I just got back from Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest, where the trees were aflame with the changing colors of fall, the landscape was green lush and dense with foliage, and the sea and sky were grey and you couldn't tell where one stopped and the other began. 

It rained most of the time I was there, so I wore a floppy black wool felt hat every day.  But the resultant hat-hair was worth it.  I was warm and comfortable, and got lots of compliments from beanie-wearing Canadians.

Now I need to unpack all my socks and sweaters and maple syrup and other souveniers.  Or not.
