The Dandy Lion

Dandelion
Dandelions gold
Dapple my lawn with yellow
Turn so soon silver

About Chuck

I am retired after a career in electronics and in publishing. Today, my wife of 50+ years, Sylvia, and I live in a house on a hill beside a dirt road in rural west Michigan. We enjoy living in this country environment where livestock and wild life out number the human population.

  1. That is a lot of dandelions. My husband would not be happy. He despises them.

  2. Shark, I'm thinking about gathering some greens to put in today's salad. Maybe even boil a few and serve with a couple drops of vinegar. I'll have to check out the dandelion vinegar.

    Rebecca, No, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing that interesting fact. Wonder if I could get some of the descendants to come and pick the dandys on my lawn?

  3. That's a lot of dandelions! We're starting to get them now.

    Did you know that dandelions were brought over by English Pilgrims? For food (the greens are very nutritious). Yah, thanks a LOT for that, John Alden and Miles Standish!

    Nice haiku. 😀

  4. Nice. A fair amount of mine (actually from the cemetery) turned into caramel color). Yum. I noticed that "What I Made Today" used blossoms to make a flavored vinegar too.
