Great juxtaposition: whirling maple seeds and grandkids who are nearly uncountable! I think the grandkids are whirling as well.

Fine observation and nice genre.

Best wishes

Kind words! Thanks, Rudi.

The grandkids were whirling about in the yard as well.

Grandkids can be a handful. Good thing a granddad can send them home when he's had his fill. A dad goes home with them.
