I actually do enjoy then along the roadsides as we walk. We have very big, very healthy dandys here.

I think we had one warm dry day that we could have walked barefoot, the rest of the time we probably would have had cold mud squishing between our toes. Can never understand why people with livestock try to get rid of dandelions from their fields. The animals love them and those long tap roots bring up nutrients otherwise not accessible to the animals.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-12515988147944608432017-05-12T08:30:49.118-05:002017-05-12T08:30:49.118-05:00I know they're weeds, but dandelions make me s...I know they're weeds, but dandelions make me smile especially when clutched in the hand of an excited toddler.Tired Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285635623675889289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-87185655147460644762017-05-12T08:07:44.211-05:002017-05-12T08:07:44.211-05:00I just found out that dandelion seed tea is very g...I just found out that dandelion seed tea is very good for your health.sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971787430517830586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-75025864590845224072017-05-12T07:24:52.652-05:002017-05-12T07:24:52.652-05:00They are pretty until they turn into seed pods.

And my grandsons still pick their mama big bouquets every spring. I was surprised that they are rare to see here in my part of SC. That's okay, we have plenty of other weeds that try to invade the lawn!
