Remember the book “Dandelion Wine” by Ray Bradbury.

— Dandelion wine is presented as a metaphor of summer here, bottled for the winter season of illnesses and wheezing. In Douglas’ words: “Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered.”

Can’t help but think of this when I see dandelions.

That is so true.

I made dandelion jelly and the same can be said of it.
