Dandelion Season

It's that time of year once again. And once again Bob is out in the yard patiently pulling dandelions, roots and all, of course. Day after day, as soon as the yellow heads pop out from the lawn, Bob is squatting and digging, one dandelion at a time.

So why does he do this? Children love them.

Bees love them.

The guy with the spray can get rid of them in no time. But, he also gets rid of our bees.

And so, my very patient husband, (who detests the pesticides and loves the bees) keeps digging the dandelions, one by one, day by day.

You gotta love his patience and his love for the bees. Well, at least I do, and in our yard in Hot Springs, SD, that is all that counts.

And the children who love them will still have plenty to go around, and so will the bees.
