Borne Bright On the Breeze

dandelion drift


               soft the seeds set sail windward ...


     next year's bright meadow

Daniel Turner Date: 5/26/2019 8:06:00 AM Congratulations on POTD, Greg. "Next year" around here it's more like next week! Dandelions are my nemesis. I work in my yard nearly everyday and I am forever digging them up with a hoe. Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 5/27/2019 3:28:00 PM I have to agree with you Daniel, though it is a love-hate relationship for me, as I so adore their beauty and phases and hearty "personalities", (and a decent tea, when done right), but, oh, those roots!! Blessings, my friend! :-)
