I absolutely marvel at how anyone can so believably paint fluff — and this painting shouts shades of, “I picked these for you!” 💕

Ah, dandelions, the flower of our childhoods. Just yesterday my grandson, 6, was marveling at a dandelion. When my second daughter was four, she picked a whole bunch of dandelions and sold them in front of our house on Mother’s Day. And, yes passersby bought them, including the neighbor kids, who had a full yard of dandelions.

I love dandelions…one of the first sources of food for bees! The dandelion in bloom is the sun, when in puff ball stage like the painting they are the moon and when blown to the wind, they are stars. :) Chris

Today, I try to catch the dandelions in my garden before they spread. But you reminded me of the time when it was just so much fun to blow the seeds away.
