There has been some discussion online concerning dandelions. I believe Lin may have started it. Others were involved as well. Last week, or was it the week before, I went out for a bit of fresh air and to capture an image of the golden beauty that adorns our lawn.
This shot was taken from the front of our house and looks down toward our secondary road. Mild temperatures and plenty of rain have brought the world back to life.
I returned to the office and took this shot from the window to the right of my desk.
I zoomed in for a closer look at the many blossoms. Do you think I should pull out the dandelions? Do you think I could do it if I wanted?
While I was taking a break and capturing these images, what do you suppose Sylvia was doing? I was curious so I started looking for her. There she was on the south end of the barn. She was pruning the raspberries to get ready for this year’s crop.
Little wonder she stays so trim and fit.
I like the yellow. Tasty plant too, but I can't eat my way through fields of them!
Nom, nom, nom! I loves me some dandelions!
I have a field of dandelions too. What can you do?
The yellow flowers are cute; the puffy white seeds are the nuisance. Oh well, such is nature! I don't mind dandelions, I guess. There are worse things lurking in my lawn!
I happen to like those little yellow flowers–it is the seed heads that push me over the edge. Ugh.
I can't imagine trying to stop them on property like that–I mean, could you even do it? I doubt it. Let them go and just enjoy their little sunshiney faces for awhile. 🙂 But just don't blow the seed heads this way, okay?
Nice of you to take photos of Sylvia while she works. 🙂 I'm sure she LOVED that!! Hahaha!
Oh–we had a blue heron in our pond this morning!! EEEK!
Whoa! New Look!
The yard is bright and colorful, too.
