Actually I LIKE dandelions.And yes I do think yellow is cheery. I remember when we had our apple orchard in Wisconsin and there was nothing prettier than those dandelions peeking through the orchard grass as the white or blush pink apple blossoms were opening. Sigh...a wee bit homesick for Wiscinsin-snow and all. The Springs there were some kind of beautiful!

That sounds so pretty. :) I'm not fond of dandelions, but this year we do have a bumper crop of them. :)

"Actually I LIKE dandelions. And yes I do think yellow is cheery."

This brings memories of a dear friend of ours in North Carolina. June was a widow who worked for my Endocrinologist, and we tucked her under our wings.

We gave her firewood from our abundance, living in the woods, and included her on vacations to the beach and in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

Although she was a warm and lovely and attractive person, she was not dating, and I knew no one ever brought her flowers.

Since I was on an insulin infusion pump for 9 years and frequently went across the street from the hospital where I worked for consultations, I started plucking dandelions and other weed blooms on the way over to take to her....

Here's to ya, June, and those wonderful times, my friend, at Cherry Grove Beach by the Atlantic and Little Switzerland up in the mountains, and all the hours we shared as friends (tying in your calendar, FTH) - -
