{bit of beauty: dandelions}

I’m not quite sure why, but I rarely ever see dandelions around here. My guess is it’s either the climate or all weed killers they put on the lawns here. I never understood why grown-ups got so flustered if I blew on a dandelion as a kid. “Don’t do that, they’ll be everywhere!”, they’d say. I thought it was a fabulous idea. I still do.
