Dandelions
I remember the joy of blowing dandelions as a little girl. I must admit that I still find it quite enjoyable. What an amazing plant. It's too bad that it's considered an unsightly weed. I believe that our whole neighborhood will be densely populated due to my son. He absolutely adores them. On the way home from the bus every day he picks all of them that he passes. White fluff blows in the wind. He smiles and says, "They're beautiful flowers, Mommy!" Yes, they are beautiful.
This morning he stopped to pick one on the way out to the van. Matt drives him to the bus stop every morning. Jamie was so excited about his dandelion that he abandoned his backpack in the middle of the yard. Matthew had to retrieve it. Unbeknownst to Matthew, Jamie took the dandelion in the car. He guarded it carefully to keep from losing the precious seeds. When he presented his beautiful flower to his Daddy, Matthew rolled down the window and had him blow away the seeds before they ended up all over the van.
Our lawn is in deplorable condition. Weed grasses seem to have taken over, not to mention clover and dandelions. Still, I am hesitant to buy any weed and feed. What would the world be like without dandelions?
