I like the little hearts floating in this graphic. :) Dandelion's are viewed as either a flower or a weed. I will always see a flower. Wishes!! Congratulations Greg, on Poem of the Day. ~ Brandy

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.

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! :-)
