One Windy Day

We had a lot of fun today!

It wasn't so much that we got to sit in the sun and play with straws.

Nor even that we contemplated a paint-spattered paper while relaxing in the sun...

No, those straws had a PURPOSE! (You can breathe easy: It was not sucking up the paint. All appearances to the contrary, that is not what she is doing.)

Nor shoving the paint around with the end of the straw, though some of that did go on...

No, we took our piece of straw and our watered-down paint, and we BLEW, as hard as we could.
Blew and blew and blew.
(Just like the wind on this windy day, you see?)

We blew and blew, and rested a bit, and blew some more.

Willa enjoyed the event from the comfort of her personal observation post.

(Left to her own devices, she'd have enjoyed the event from the emergency room, after fracturing some vital body part falling down the porch steps... Thankfully, she was a little drowsy after our long walk this morning, and quite content, once securely buckled, to sit and watch.)


You blow and blow the paint around, and then you notice that your friend's hair is all red and yellow and blue, what with all the trailing around in the paint that's been happening. That is very funny! Then you notice that someone else has blue paint spatters on her nose. And just about the time you calm down from THAT hilarity, your other friend blows yellow paint all over your sleeve. (Sorry about that, whoever does the laundry at your house.)

Which (if you're not the guy doing the laundry) is just about fall-over-breathless funny.

Spring is windy. This was our Windy Craft for Spring. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
