Desi skipped across the street. Reaching the corner, she flung her arms wide, threw back her head and twirled in a circle three times as she started straight up into the sky. Her blue flowered skirt swirled around her like windflower petals fluttering in the breeze. Her enthusiastic spins culminated in gentle swaying, eyes closed she breathed in sweet spring air.
“What are you doing?” mother’s voice asked.
“It’s a glorious day,” Desi exhaled without opening her eyes.
Mother stopped next to her seeing the flowers adorning the building and the bright blue sky.
“Why, it is a lovely day.”

I love the way you describe the child’s sheer joy of living. A beautiful day with a clear blue sky and colourful flowers would make me want to spin, too.

Delightful! Oh for the vision of a child! Moms are so wrapped up in work that needs doing.
I’d like to have the energy of one, too, mind you.
