a pocket full of posies

actually, a field full of dandelions.

after we left leigh lake and were heading home, we came across this meadow.

john being the nice guy that he is, turned onto a dirt road next to it so i could get some pictures.

most people think of dandelions as weeds.
i don't know how many i have pulled out of gardens over the years.

even as i pulled them and threw them away, i never really looked at them.        

        

but today, when i did stop and take a really good look at one, i realized they have alot to offer. 

    

they are a sunny yellow and aren't too picky about where they put down roots.  

they are just happy to be where they are and who they are.

something we all could learn from. 

                                                                       

from now on, i don't know if i will ever look at dandelions the same way.            

       

from one single flower....

or to a whole field of them...

they will always be beautiful to me and

have a special spot in my heart

and my garden
