They literally do that. There’s so much excitement in them that they have to jump.

I love pinwheels. Now as adults we’re allowed to love them if they’re metal “art” and move with the wind. Just bought one for my guy and his garden. He jumps for joy.

Lots of joy must exist to create such a gravity defying lift! Or maybe the whole gravity thing is a myth… yes, I think so…

During the wind of March, I was driving home from the Refuge. At one of the small farms, a mom and dad were out by their front gate sticking pinwheels in the ground while their children waited excitedly to see them work. It was so cool.
