Later in the season we blew dandelion fairy dust everywhere, which, of course, meant more dandelion resurrection for the next year...

One year my 2 1/2-year-old grandson, Dylan, brought me a "dandy-lion" bouquet. I put it in water and set it on the table. At mealtime, my husband asked why the weeds were on the table. I told him, "Dylan picked a bouquet for me, and if you make any remarks you'll be out in the yard helping him pick dandelions for your supper." Men!
It's time to prepare for resurrection in more ways than one. Life is all around all the time if we just open our eye to see.
