Dandelions

My mom was just here visiting from California. She was utterly amazed at the profusion of dandelions -- in our yard, in other peoples' yards, even in the fields. If she saw 2 dandelions in her front yard, she'd be right out there digging them up! My son said "the yellow wildflowers look pretty" and my mom said "Just LOOK at all those dandelions!" I guess it's all in your perspective.

We choose not to spray our yard, so we have dandelions. This morning the ones in front and to the northwest are knee-high to a large dog and going to seed, while on the east side of the house there's a budding new yellow crop. But we saw, the other day, that they DO have a purpose in God's creation! Mama and Daddy Canada Geese were supervising their four fluffy little ones on the grass at the corner of the yard where the crick flows into Rainy River ... and, guess what? The geese were eating the dandelions!
