Dandelions

I love dandelions.  I know they’re a weed, but I really love seeing a yard or a field full of them, both the yellow flower and the lacy white puffball, I think they’re so pretty!  When Maddie and Ben were little I took some photos of them in a dandelion field, and my three favorite photos hold a place of honor over the toilet in my master bath.

I don’t know what Dave has against the sweet, simple dandelion, but he wages a constant battle against them.

The other night while Dave wasn’t paying attention, Jack decided to spread a few dandelion seeds.

But the first thing he did was get the puffball too close to his mouth.

But then he tried again.

Success!

He could only find about five or 6 lone dandelions spread throughout the entire yard, but he blew them all.

So maybe next year we’ll be able to take some updated Kids in the Dandelions photos to update that all important area over my toilet.
