Umbrellas

 Last week it rained...a lot.

So the kids got out my umbrella,

my nice umbrella.

After observing how it was being used, I took it away to prevent further injury to it.

So we got new umbrellas...three of them.

 There is something so fun about an umbrella that I'd forgotten about.

My kids helped me remember that today by

jumping off our rock wall trying to fly,

opening and closing them quickly to try and "shoot" each other, 

spinning them off their shoulders,

and running around feeling the drag of air.

Pure joy in the simple things of life.
