I walked around Mother’s house to check for any damage from Thursday night’s storms (we heard a roar that almost drove us to the basement). We had a few dead limbs down, but nothing really worth hauling out the chain saw for. I mentioned a couple days ago that things were greening, purpling, yellowing and reddening all over the place.
What I did NOT expect to see was a patch of dandelions already going to seed. (Click on the photo to make it larger.)
I know that it’s a sign of disgrace to have dandelions in your yard, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this colorful little weed.
Embrace the disgrace. They’ll go away soon enough as it is.
Who, pray tell, was the one who declared them to be ‘weeds’? The color is pretty and they are no more prolific than the Columbine which is the state flower of Colorado. Thoughts?
…and those little puff balls were so much fun to blow in ad watch them fly!! 🙂
