Stormy Weather Brings Us Together

While our neighbors may run for the comfort of their homes in inclement weather, we grab our shoes (or not!) and head outside.


Today's thunderstorms were a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the magic of the elements converging. The energy created by storms is something we hate to miss out on.  


We played in the backyard with the dogs and cats, feeling invigorated by the warm wind and rain drops.


Then we hopped onto our bikes and raced until we couldn't peddle any longer, laughing the whole way. I love hearing Alex let out squeals of exhilaration and delight. These happy moments confirm that he is enjoying his childhood.

The horses were running free in the fields next to us and seemed to be enjoying the energy in the air as much as we were. They seemed to be galloping with us as we sped along, as if acknowledging our celebration of nature.

For me, this is a perfect example of the unschooling mentality.
Freedom!
