be dandy...

...be dandy - o

there is something about dandelion's that simply fascinate me - i know... i know... i believe the general consensus would be that dandy's are pesty - get in the way - weedy things... that may be true to a degree - if you're only keeping a very narrow minded perspective - i've written here many times before regarding the dandy's ability to brighten the day - but did you also know...

-there's an annual dandelion festival in white sulfur springs, west virgina just to celebrate spring
- the dandelion is the official flower of the university of rochester
-dandelion leaves contain abundant vitamins and minerals - especially vitamins a, c and k
-dandelion is used as a diuretic
-dandelions are thought to have evolved about 30 million years ago in eurasia

that's a long time for them to have been around - and it proves they're not going anywhere soon - so we might as well sit back and enjoy them - the variety of them as well - throughout these warm months - allow them to bring some sunshine into your life for the good they can do - and make it...

a

happy day.....
