The Dandelion makes me think of a smile.
Yellow, bright, and round is the dandelion.
A field full of dandelions looks like a soft carpet
where one gleefully runs and skips barefoot.
The warmth of the yellow sun shining down,
pouring happiness onto dandelions.
Spring is here when the dandelions bloom,
birds sing and welcome the colors of this seasons rebirth.
Lavender fits with dandelion as they are both flowers.
Lavender brings thoughts of spring. As the fragrance
of the lavender wafts through the day it tells us that
spring has arrived.
Laundry hanging out on the line to dry also
fits this picture that dandelions paint in my mind.
The vision of the warm breeze gusting through the yard
and snaping the laundry to and fro as the air is sweet
with the smells of spring. Laundry and sunshine and
birds singing, field mice and squirrels scurrying about.
White and pink and purple blooms peeking out
amongst the dried fall leaves.
The greens of grass and trees are all around.
The feel of cool and warm.
And the dandelion the color of friendship
greets us and welcomes us to spring.
