An errant knight,

I mount my faithful steed

post tea-time,

charge through bramble weed

to rescue my fair children from their learning

together, we race past Lochness-shaped lake,

pause to let pass three ducklings,

then swiftly canter

below the ever-changing canopy

to vanquish all melancholy.

Our smiles, the swords we brandish

on our noble quest to be ourselves

in the land of aphantasia and uniformity.

  1. Nice eBike, K! I have a Pedego eBike, they are much more fun to ride than a non-electric bike aren’t they? Your kiddos look so happy! ❤️

    1. Thank you, John. Yes, we are enjoying our new e-bike. It’s a RadWagon. The hill help is great and also the ability to go farther with both my littles in tow. They are huge fans of what they are calling our “horse.”

      1. That’s great! It’s wonderful to be able to go much further and not have to break a sweat going up hills isn’t it? ❤️

      2. I try to leave it off as I can use all the exercise, but it’s a great safety net . We love the bike and can’t wait for more summer adventures. 💜

    Every knight has their own quest ❤ Love those little nods to classic fantasy here – really elevates a typical homeward cycle!

    1. Yes. I read about it recently, as it increases due to screen time (they say) and lack of imagination.
