Green and Yellow

Brandy's favorite toy is a yellow tennis ball and she decided to take it outside to play with it.  It was so funny to watch her trying to find the ball among the dandelions. I would throw the ball and it would take her awhile to find it.

Our yard is full of dandelions  and if we were still in town, this would be very upsetting as Norris always maintained a lush green lawn with hardly any weeds in it.  But here in the country, everything is rather wild and actually I love it.  The green and yellow is so pretty. 

Although dandelions are considered a weed, I have always liked them. I remember my mother used to take my "bouquet" and put them in the middle of the kitchen table and my hands were always stained from picking them. 

Then when I had children, they also used to bring me bouquets of dandelions and I put them in the middle of my table. It is too bad that I am not a wine drinker as I sure have a  lot of material for dandelion wine.  LOL

  2. Well.. I like (almost love) fireweed (but NOT when they seeds begin to mature *grin*) and cow parsley and they are also called weeds :)

    I even had cow parsley in our wedding in the church as a decoration =0}

    And in the Midsummer I put a BIG bouquet of them in the door sides.. I think they look lovely.

  3. Doreen, this brings back memories. The best part is yet to come. I love the puffy white seed heads and blowing them off in the wind to float away. Dandelions are few and far between in AZ. I miss them.
