Symon has been seriously neglecting the lawn lately... but the positive to that is all the dandelions we discovered yesterday afternoon.
Miss 1 had so much fun as she blew her first dandelion fluffy (proper name = "dandelion clock") and then all the kids decided to join in.
With young children, you learn to take notice of the little things. Life can be quite heavy at times, as weighty issues are discussed, big decisions are made and just the general stresses of life can occupy our thoughts. I love the fact that little children delight in the simple everyday things... and I am sure that is why God made them... for us to delight in.
When did you last stop and notice those little things... the sun setting, the beautiful flowers around us everyday, the sound of the birds, the tiny insects going about their day?
When did you last blow dandelion seeds?
