sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

“Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.”

Drew Barrymore

BTW, I’ve been coerced to add this Haiku about daisies from Ellis. Please bear with us…Thanks. 🙂

Most daisies are white,
They get watered by the dogs
Still they smile with fun.

      Thank you, I’ll let Ellis know. She was laughing up a storm coming up with it.

    Great little haiku – the daisies must protest this dog watering bigtime!

    Ask Ellis is that is why dandelions are yellow?

      I told her your comment on a hike today, and she pointed to a dandelion and smiled. That goof!

        And I just told Ellis that people eat dandelions and drink dandelion tea and wine … I’m glad I don’t!

      Hi aunt Linda it’s Ellis! That could be why they are yellow but if they were i think they would be more wet, Haha!

        Ha ha! Hi Miss Ellis – did you know that people put dandelions in their salads and drink dandelion tea and wine? I’m glad I don’t because now I’m really grossed out!

    *if” (it’s late and neighbors having a party so I am staying up to catch up here)

      Those rowdy neighbors still up to their shenanigans. Don’t they start early for the 4th of July fireworks?!

        Yes, up til just after midnight on Friday nite – grrrr. The stores sell them for Memorial Day which makes no sense to me. Our former governor, about 8-9 years ago allowed Michigan to have the big firecrackers. Before people had to travel to Ohio to get them at roadside stands. Now we can buy them at the grocery store – veterans with PTSD and dogs run away during the long holidays from the noise. They are ONLY supposed to use them the day before/of/after a long holiday and New Year’s Eve, but they use them anytime they want to including weeknights … just as soon as the sun goes down. They’re expensive too!
