Dandelion Season

Dandelions always make me remember my Grandpa Joachim. I spent a lot of time with him outside in his garden growing up and dandelions stood absolutely no chance with him! I didn't understand why he disliked these beautiful yellow flowers so much. I especially loved the Eureka park where the dandelion blossoms were HUGE and even greater in number. 

Now, as a (sort of) gardener myself, I totally get it. Dandelions send roots down to the earth's core and keep coming back!

Yesterday Rachel tried to plant dandelions in the garden as I dug up those that had already sprouted.
Teresa brought me this beautiful bouquet after school.



They are kind of pretty--just not in my garden. :)
