It was another day of watching snowflakes falling and blowing. People may complain about dandelions in their yards but seeing the little parachutes of the weed would mean warmer temperatures.

A week can make a big difference as last week the calves were surrounded by yellow dandelions but now pasture is filled with white dandelion seeds which take flight when the wind blows.

Mothers may have been treated to breakfast in bed, a special dinner, gifts or flowers on this Mother’s Day. The special flowers I gave my mother are ‘very rare and hard to find’ and I have to hunt high and low on my lawn to find these ‘pretty’ yellow flowers.

When the dandelions lose their yellow smiles, the field may turn white as the seeds start floating away but I rather see the dandelion seeds flying in the air than the snowflakes that fell this afternoon.

The sun was finally shining today, but the hoarfrost had already melted the previous day so it only shone on the snow and definitely not shining on green grass covered in yellow dandelions.

The sun only appeared only for a short time today, but there was one small sunny circle on my lawn today. The first dandelion is another sign spring is trying to arrive even with the cloudy and cold days.

The calendar might say it is spring, but it is more of a gray period instead with another cloudy day and the brownish landscape which has emerged from the snow. A field of dandelions would look pretty about now, even if people don’t like them, but bees love them. I like the yellow stage, it is the white seed releasing event that I don’t care for.

With a few more days to go in a very long string of cloudy days, I could use some color, even if from some yellow dandelion weeds.

There was a lot of white on my lawn yesterday, but since it was 80 degrees yesterday, it wasn’t snow. Instead the dandelions were no longer yellow but now white with their seed dispersal sphere ready to release seeds into the wind. One seed is ready to take flight once the breeze catches it parachute to send it sailing in the air.

It appears spring is officially here at last as the dandelions have made their appearance! But I can’t pick the pretty yellow flowers for my mom since the butterflies are landing on them for the nectar as there isn’t much else for food sources for the bees and butterflies at the moment until other flowers open up.
