A THOUSAND LITTLE SUNS

I received an email from a dear friend in Maui whose husband needs 1/2 grocery bag full of dried dandelion heads for a Bio dynamic preparation. So, given the foraging nature I have, and the excitement of the hunt...

*morals---oh, I'll look under just one more tree

*Goodwill shopping---there's bound to be a 'treasure' here if only I look a bit longer
*dandelions---oh, there's another good one over there

...I set out this morning to start on my half full grocery bag

Setting the tops out on this picnic table one by one was not unlike constructing some 'art project' and I found it intriguing.

Some of these flowers measured almost 2" in diameter, and were stunning on the stalk. I think laid out here, they are close to breathtaking. I only wish my photo-taking abilities were up to the task.

Of course, if it rains, I'll be moving them and laying them out somewhere one by one again, and maybe that won't be so 'creative' a project.



Coincidentally, just the other day I went outside and took pictures of dandelions because I thought them so beautiful...as beautiful as many another flower. Poor things, they are totally unaware that they are a 'weed'.
