So here is a Spring update for the Woolstenhulmes! The snow is just about gone, keep your fingers crossed, and everything is brown, the mud is brown, the lane is brown, even the cute little deer in the field are brown. But hold on the green is just waiting, beneath the surface, just waiting to burst forth and celebrate the beauty of this season, it will first start with the yellow green buds on the aspens, and then the lawns will green up and then the glorious dandelions will appear, much to my moms dismay and Maria Brando's delight, Maria will be sure I am going to make some delicious dandelion salad and my mom will want then to be gone from our funny lumpy green, pretend lawn, but I love them, with their bright sunshiney faces and I even love their little puffy, messy tops, great for making wishes, and defiant on the battlefront of all weeddom, determined to spread their sunshine in spite of the ongoing and eternal battle for their eradication. I love you all, I love spring, I love the new babies that are coming, and the changes of this beautiful season. We are going down to Provo this week for graduation, we are proud and excited to see the kids move forward in their lives. and I know as I come back home to the valley the greening will have begun! Bring it on! Let the greening commence!

I agree.. I felt like I was in heaven all ready reading your post.. it made my day THANKS
Deanne, I have been taking pictures of dandelions and I love them too. I'll have to send you some of my pictures. I remember that your park up there always was so beautiful covered with yellow dandelions in the Spring. I've always thought they were wonderful. We used to put the stems in ice water and they would curl up and then we would dip them in sugar and eat them for a treat. Are you the one who taught us that? You should try some. And when they turn into the fluffy seed heads then you can have lots of wishes sent out every day on the wind. love you!
