Ah, the joy of dandelions!


What is a summer day without blowing a dandelions? This was actually taken Easter Weekend I am just getting around to posting it though. Why is it that such a small "free" thing that we want to keep out of our yards can be so much fun? I think it is because God created things for us to play with. I don't think he ever needed us to create plastic toys and rubber balls for entertainment. If we take a look around and get out of our houses there is so much to play with and so much to enjoy. I am finding that my kids like things of nature just as much as they do all the plastic we could buy them.


Take a look around and see what God has provided for you to 'play' with today.

We've recently found a fascination with "helicopter" seeds. Don't know the name of the tree they fall from, but my guys totally forget about anything else when they find them. A walk around the block can take nearly an hour between "blowflowers" and "helicopters."

Hey, those blowflowers are being blown in my lawn (that term is used loosley). The flowers should spread enough for them to have many to blow for the entire summer!
Haha.
Love those little boogers.
