Physics 101 ...

Hello Everyone.

Now, I'm not one to brag about my kids ... but ... as the temperatures soared to way above freezing, my 3 ½-year-old daughter has come to fully understand the physics behind gravity.

Through her own experiments, Neva has discovered the consistency associated with gravity. When you jump up in a muddy puddle, for instance, you will come back down. You will also slip, lose your balance and fall right in.

If you jump into a larger puddle on a different day, in a different part of the yard, the same will happen. You will slip, lose your balance and fall right in.

Gravity even plays a role when climbing a melting snow bank surrounded by a wide ring of water drenched earth. Not only must you climb down, but you will slip, lose your balance and fall right in..

Happy sweeping,
