I'm pretty sure I've mentioned our mutant dandelions to most of you before. So just in case you thought I was weird, insane, or just dumb for noticing them, here are some fine specimens found while out for a walk recently.
Now tell me you wouldn't notice these all over your front yard and neighborhood? I just find it amazing that 2 or 3 of these things can grow into a single one. I guess I've seen trees do it before, so it's not that much of a stretch for dandelions. But it's still kind of cool.
Pollen is in the air. I wake up phlegmy. Spring is here.
I took this picture yesterday while cutting the grass. That much is pretty obvious. What's not obvious is that this is only 8 days of growth. I cut the grass on Thursday last week. It wasn't exactly knee-high or anything, but you're looking at easily 4+ inches taller than the
cut grass, which is about 2 inches tall.
As much as I love what spring means: Camping, Fishing, Sunshine, and that Summer, and with it Beach trips, is just around the corner — It also means things like lawn mowing, weed-whacking, and gardening — some of my least favorite warm weather activities.
