We have patchy, scruffy country grass peppered with dandelions, little red wild flowers, clover and more. And I thought - now WHO GOT TO DECIDE DANDELIONS WERE WEEDS ANYWAY? I mean, even the thistle with it's purple fluffs are pretty. But at least they sting so I can see why they'd undesirable in a yard. But dandelions? Who's ever been hurt by a dandelion? :PAmber @ Classic Housewife/ Modern Worldhttp://www.classichousewife.com/daily-life/2009/05/13/13-recent-pictures-i-really-like/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-66030401230669695992009-05-13T14:30:00.000-04:002009-05-13T14:30:00.000-04:00My daughter LOVES Dandelions!

Besides, they reproduce abundantly, children love them, they're inexpensive, require no care, and are fun to blow when they go to seed. They also contrast nicely with green leaves and grass.<br /><br />You can eat them, by the way. Rather bitter, I understand, but it's good for the digestion. You can even make dandelion fritters. All around, they're a pretty good deal, I'd say! And all the more reason to keep the pesticides OFF.Dianne - Bunny Trailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604043807160470553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-70938124442966484032009-05-13T00:14:00.000-04:002009-05-13T00:14:00.000-04:00love your perspective.
