Daisies and DandelionsThere is never a shortage of dandelions in my yard. Sure we spray weed killer and pull out as many as we can, but there always seems to be one more. If it isn't dandelions, its some other type of weed. I have been told that there is a way to make your yard virtually matinence free, but we are yet to find it. My daughter however, loves to pick dandelions. She finds these little yellow flowers facinating and never stops to find out why mommy and daddy will let her pick as many as she wants.
Thankfully, this year she seems to be leaving my daisies alone. Last year they were not so lucky. We tried everything to get her to leave mommies pretty flowers in the ground. Finally we made up a little saying that flowers were for smelling and not for picking. She didn't seem to understand that her mommy wanted the pretty flowers to stay where she couldn't see them all the time. The concept seemed to be beyond her grasp.
This spring when the dandelions again roared to life in our yard, she asked if she could pick some. We were more than happy to allow her to pick them to her little heart's content. The real problem however is that when she picked my daisies last year, we would put them in a vase to attempt to keep them alive... which means that I have had various vases of dandelions throughout my house. At first, I resisted her demands that we keep them alive in the house. She claimed that they were pretty and soon we gave in.
These days of summer don't provide us with as many dandelions. I must admit that I don't miss the clutter of vases and the stinky smell that they give off. What I do miss however is the huge smile on her face as she would hand me another boquet of what I can't bring myself to tell her are weeds.
