These little thoughts have been roaming around in my head because spring takes so long arriving here this year.

God Bless the Dandelion
That fed my husband in his youth
and filled mine with parachutes.

God Bless the Dandelion
That heralds spring with yellow bursts
and fills our mouths

At eight bucks a pound!

Wait!

Some thing's gone amiss!

This image and the image at the top of the individual blog post are part of a larger photo. I took it in a park in Rockwall, Texas two years ago. They are just as beautiful here and were, of course, Spring's first spot of color.


More on the Dandelion from Wekipedia, of course.
