What's neat about them is seeing how tall and proud are the first flowers. After the first mowing they tend to stick closer to the ground. They are pretty despite their bad reputation, but my favorites are the buttercups. They'll come next and I will pick just one to hold under my wrist in sunlight.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-69957412165680637982013-05-26T13:57:56.040-07:002013-05-26T13:57:56.040-07:00its quite difficult to buy dandelion and burdock s...its quite difficult to buy dandelion and burdock squash here these days - which is a shame, because its very nice<br /><br />It seems then that holding a buttercup under someones chin to find out if they like butter is a universal thingDon't Feed The Pixieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380146661526476947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-2104322675328248722013-05-26T03:51:18.829-07:002013-05-26T03:51:18.829-07:00Fireblossom~ If you think my story is strange, jus...Fireblossom~ If you think my story is strange, just take a look at what Jinksy was told when she was a kid!<br /><br />Rob-bear~ Thank your for the blessings of another of your poetic comments!<br /><br />Jinksy~ What a silly story you were told!
