If you like the color yellow this is a fine time to be in Sequim. We’ve got yellow, plenty of it, and it’s seemingly everywhere. It’s dandelion season again!
This is a view across our back “lawn,” former pasture land. It was mowed one week before this shot and immediately after. Around here most people with land spend plenty of time mowing in a futile attempt to stay ahead. But these are power plants. Most of them duck when they hear blades coming. And if you listen carefully you can hear them murmuring, “Sucker!”
No. We have not tried to make dandelion wine. And I know they’re nutritional powerhouses. If you want some, just drop by. They’re free for the taking.
oooh, i think they are pretty!!
but its good to know they can talk, i didnt know… 😀
They call it a weed, but I’ve always liked the way dandelions look.
I like to think of them as wildflowers on my front yard.
My father loved to make wine and this field would have been pure gold to him.
They look so pretty on YOUR lawn, Kay. Call me conventional, but I’m not on their fans’ list.
