Oh man, the weather this week has been ama-aaazing wouldn’t you say??? I think in the past few days it’s been hotter than any of the summer days back in 2009. Gotta love it. Everyone is out and about riding their bikes, playing in the park and working on their yards. Many people pull out those ‘pesky’ dandelions that consume their lawn – unless you’re one of the disciplined one’s that have that oh-so-perfect lawn…I envy you.
We live close by to a neighbourhood park which currently hasn’t had it’s routine ‘grooming’ so the weeds have been growing like crazy – to the point where when you drive by, it looks like a field of soft puffy cotton balls that you just want to jump into. To me, those puffy looking cotton balls are the prettiest weeds out there. As a child I remember making a bouquet full of them and just running through the park, looking behind me to see a soft floating stream of dreams following me (I know that sounds super cheesy but it’s true!). When I see kids blowing them and having fun with them, I think back to those days where you didn’t know those things were ‘ugly’ or called ‘weeds’. You took them as they were and used your imagination to see the true beauty it had.
I’ve been eyeing this field of “dent de lion’s” for a few days now hoping that the city maintenance man doesn’t come by to cut it because I wanted to take some pictures of our furry babies in them. So this evening Adam and I took the time and walked Sumo and Magnus to the park at sunset to have some fun. When we got there some of the dandelions were so high they were up to my knees…awesome. Enjoy the pics.
