pon coming back to Vermont I was struck by the HUGE dandelions growing around our yard and by the side of the road. If I had a carefully tended garden up here I wouldn’t be so thrilled by these…but seeing as we don’t, I love them! Cheerful, glowing yellow, AND you can make wishes with them. Oh, and the Vermont variety say nice things to me like this:

Have a dandy weekend, sweet things!
Thanks for the reminder, Grace! I agree…dandelions don’t deserve their bad reputation. They really are such strong and robust and bright little flowers. It’s no wonder that kids LOVE them so much!!
I’m glad to know another dandelion lover! Yep, I always loved making dandelion crowns and necklaces when I was little…looks like I may have to take up that activity again in Vermont!
