Just a lonely dandelion growing by the wayside where its seed fell and began to grow. FOTD 28th March 2023: Dandelion
FOTD 28th March 2023: Dandelion — Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss
seeing Pat’s picture of the dandelion inspired my poem:
Tao Talk
Taotalk is a forum for the discussion of both the academic and pragmatic aspects of dao and Daoism, with participants expressing themselves on Daoist writings and pragmatics from their unique perspectives. It serves as a community for Daoists, and those interested in Daoism, to gather and talk dao.

A favorite portent of mine! (K)

The Mrs. and I tried to eat one. The sources in the know say they are healthy and tasty. Not so, what a un-tasty morsal that was when added to my Julius Caesar salad, but yet they are a beautiful flower. I leave them alone as long as they don’t take over my yard. Spring was in Texas three weeks ago, then a 27 degree night and bam, killed almost everything back to start again. My Vitex bushes are pissed.

I’ve never tried to eat a dandelion but I’ve drank dandelion wine. Dandelions are what give honeybees a good start in the spring here. They carpet the grassy areas and more every year. Let me add I live in the country with no near neighbors (who care.) Oh so sorry to hear about the unexpected freeze. It’s always a risk isn’t it. Today we have snow going on, and I just saw the first robin.

And here I thought it was going to be a Haibun for dVerse – since the theme was weeds!
Lovely. I actually love dandelions.

I do too. They give the bees a decent start in the spring.

Exactly. I am very much a part of the No-Mow-May movement. Not because I’m lazy, even if I am, but because the bees deserve a yummy start.

So cool what dandelions symbolize to each person. Still waiting to see them here.
