Dandelion Clocks

Once they were gold, vibrant, and wavering in the breeze, but now they are white wisps, waiting to be blown and tell the time while spreading their tiny seed umbrellas and parachutes.

As I child, I blew on a dandelion clock to tell the time, unaware i was spreading dandelion seeds far and wide. It made me and many others very happy.

Dandelions are wonderful plants and visually, they are pleasing to the eye, whether they are bright gold or ghostly white.

There are dandelions in my garden and flower beds, and what I once saw as a weed, I now see as friends, for me and bees and butterflies.

So take a walk out, tell the time on a dandelion clock, and wait for the next ones to appear.
