Dandelions


I have been blessed for decades with a steady supply of dandelions. Dandelions are  the first spring flower in locations where we've lived.  I bought this sake pitcher at Daiso for wildflower gifts from the children.

Sadly, Stacia is the only one who still brings me wildflowers...but she brings me LOTS and with GREAT excitement.

It was perfect to see this little blurb floating around Facebook in honor of April - the Month of the Military Child.

The Military Child (Author Unknown)
The official flower of the military child is the dandelion. Why? The plant puts down roots almost anywhere, and it's almost impossible to destroy. It's an unpretentious plant, yet good looking. It's a survivor in a broad range of climates. 
Military children bloom everywhere the wind carries them. They are hardy and upright. Their roots are strong, cultivated deeply in the culture of the military, planted swiftly and surely. They're ready to fly in the breezes that take them to new adventures, new lands, and new friends.
 Dandelions will continue to hold a special place in my heart.

Choosing Joy!
