Sprung

As in spring has sprung. Early blossoms are everywhere in my garden including trillions (no exaggeration) of dandelions. I'm fine with that but my next door neighbor is a PhD chemist who relishes in dumping Roundup on every one he sees. I think it's completely irresponsible, but who am I to argue? A simple soap maker here, trying to decrease the size of my carbon footprint and leave the planet better than I found it. He poured what was left of his Roundup right onto the grass between our properties. I like this guy but sometimes I think the most educated people are the dumbest (I'll go ahead and apologize now if you are as educated as this guy - maybe you're not as dumb).

LONG LIVE THE DANDELION!!!

There. I've said my piece. Of course, you're probably wondering if I was planning on ranting about dandelions why I didn't blip one. The reason is simple: I didn't know I was about to rant; it snuck up on me.
