This heartiest of flowers formed many memories in my childhood, from holding it under your chin to see if it reflected or not (Was it to see if you were telling the truth? Can’t remember) to making flower chains with them, to blowing their white fluff away to scatter in all directions with the result that it was later necessary toΒ pick hundreds of new dandelions out of the lawn!Β They were the one flower that was ever-present during the spring, summer and fall.

I always grabbed them when I was young too ππ

Would you say “Ladybug, Ladybug, fly away home. Your house is on fire and your children are alone,” as you blew a ladybug off your hand or arm?
