Question: Are you bugged by the dandelions in your yard? Are do you take a live and let grow attitude toward them (and bug persnickety neighbors)?

Wait! I thought those were flowers. I have a bouqet for Mother’s Day. Live and let live.

I don’t care. I look forward to the day I move into a condo that has a pool that I don’t have to take care of and best of all: NO YARD!!!
and hopefully while I’m still young enough to be appreciative of that fact.

I even mowed my “neighbors” yard because of the dandelion fields. Actually is a bank repo and sitting empty, but the weeds still grow.

Dandelions don’t tell no lies
Dandelions will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away, Dandelion…
—The Rolling Stones, 1967
