She was so excited about the beautiful dandelions growing in our lawn because she often made an Italian dish of dandelion greens. I can't write the name because she spoke only a regional dialect of Italian. I've never had the nerve to try it myself.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-91355145039699471132008-02-02T15:57:00.000-05:002008-02-02T15:57:00.000-05:00Dandelions...we try to get rid of them in Ohio! h...Dandelions...we try to get rid of them in Ohio! ha... but Oh my Gosh, Making Dandelion chains..how much fun was that!!

I like them too - brings back fond memories of blowing the seeds off and watching them parachute to the ground, or of making chains like the girls in your photo.

We always have an abundance of dandelions. Have you made this??<BR/><BR/>During our garden party last year a friend of mine said to me "I am so glad you haven't pulled every dandelion from your garden". She is a true wildflower lover. :) I do like to see those bright happy little faces in spring. Of course if they are too prolific in my garden I grumble about them.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-75559823517051881102008-02-02T09:28:00.000-05:002008-02-02T09:28:00.000-05:00That is an interesting title.
