the blow thingys

ok, ok, i know they are called dandelions but blow thingys are much more fun to say.  :o)  let me tell you how i got so see something amazing & i had never noticed before...

so this weekend i went to a local pawn shop & got a lawn mower, i will blog about this crazy story later.  i had issues with it so i had to take it back.  they fixed it & i brought it home today.  my work friend jody, so nicely met me there to pick it up for me & dropped it off.  i thought i would just park on the street so he could back up in the driveway.  well this is were i noticed a peculiar looking plant.  it looked almost alien-flower like & then it dawned on me... it's a dandelion... all wet!  had i not parked on the street, i wouldn't have ever noticed it.  it's so pretty but the bad thing is my yard is riddled with these weeds!  i love dandelions, they are so whimsy & cute but in all honesty they are just plain ole' weeds.  :(  so that means i have to spray, i'm hoping to get some yard work done when the grass is green & the sun is shining.  i have some great st. augustine in the front yard so i want to nurture it & make my entire front yard soft enough to go barefoot.  i have to do the back breaking de-thatching first though.  that's why i need the yard to get green.  sorry off topic here are the beautiful wet dandelions.  enjoy...

so pretty

happy spring :)
