Friday is National Dandelion Day – who knew that it even existed? My yard is full of dandelions right now, and I can’t wait for the little yellow flowers to pop into white fluffy balls of fun! There’s nothing more satisfying than picking one and blowing all the fluff off, even after turning 40, lol. I just hope the lawnmower doesn’t beat me to them 😉 With dandelions in mind, here are some great quotes….

“Most of the dandelions had changed from suns into moons.” 
― Vladimir Nabokov

“Dandelions, like all things in nature are beautiful when you take the time to pay attention to them.” 
― June Stoyer

“Dandelions are just friendly little weeds who only want to be loved like flowers.” 
― Heather Babcock

“I am born as the sun,
But then turn into the moon,
As my blonde hairs turn
Grayish-white and fall to
The ground,
Only to be buried again,
Then to be born again,
Into a thousand suns
And a thousand moons.
