the dandelion

it's so beautiful up close, don't you think?  all those layers of delicate petals.  and i never knew about those darling little tendrils until i used a macro lens.  but i wasn't admiring them yesterday.  in fact, i was swearing a bit as i tried to yank them out of the lawn.  we don't have a lawn care service (YET), and never fertilize, weed and feed, aerate, whatever, so there is a proliferation of dandelions all over our yard.  i think it's safe to say that our yard consists of more weeds than actual grass.

but it's so good, so sweet to be outside, with the sun on my back, swearing at the beautiful dandelions.
