aka, the eyesore, in mine and M's opinion.
"oh mommy... they're SO pretty!!"
"aren't we so lucky to live by such pretty flowers?"
"mommy, i want to go and pick lots right now!"
"why don't we have any little yellow flowers on our yard?" (this one said with a pout!)
"girls", i said, "dandelions are weeds. and we don't want yucky weeds on our lawn."
then, in my rush, i kept driving, leaving the subject behind.
this afternoon little K woke up from her nap and wanted to play outside for a bit.
i used this extra amount of quiet time to keep lounging lazily in my bed.
after a couple of minutes she runs back inside.
with, i might add, a whole fistful of beautiful yellow flowers. ;)
"mommy, these are for YOU!"
well, do you think my view of dandelions has changed now?
yes, they are still technically a weed... but they're a pretty weed that my girls absolutely love.
and if they want to bring me fistfuls of dandy ol' lions... who am i to not accept them?!
they now reside in a little cup on my bedside table!
where will you find beauty in the most unexpected of places today?

I loved picking mom dandelions...and clover...and pussy willows. they are pretty yellow flowers. Much nicer in a cup beside your table than in the lawn where they seed! lol xox
wouldn't we all do better if we decided on our own what beauty really was? i love me a dandelion and i'm embracing them. i've fired the chemical lawn company for our yard. you know what's not beautiful. toxic chemicals. you know what i miss queen anne's lace and clover. :) (darling photos, btw)
