Dandelions are nothing more than an annoying weed in our yard.

Well, that's what I thought as of a week ago.

Now they are the most beautiful and bright flower, available almost everywhere.

E loves them and anytime we are outside (which over the weekend was a lot--thank you Spring for finally showing up in Minnesota!) she collects a bouquet and gives them either to me or her daddy.

And as I held those beautiful bouquets of wild flowers, I had a memory. From a long time ago. A memory of liking dandelions. Of thinking of them as more than just a weed. When I would pick bouquets for my mom and grandma.

Having kids is a funny thing. Sometimes they make you feel old and tired and grumpy. But other times they make you feel like a kid again.

So take a moment and maybe stop and smell some flowers. Or even weeds.
