The lowly dandelion (meaning lion’s tooth because their leaves resemble the teeth of lions), a bright sign of spring to some, a beastly invasive weed to those trying to maintain manicured green lawns or clear walkways. I love dandelions myself, and how can you not respect the tenacity, strength and determination of a plant that makes its way through concrete!

I’ve never eaten dandelion greens or had dandelion wine, but understand they are good. Do you just eat the leaves? steamed with a little garlic and butter?

We are dandelion salad every spring because Grandma said it “takes the winter out of you.” Uncle Tom made dandelion wine which was actually better at that than the salad was.

Diuretic, too …easy on the wine ! The French for “dandelion” is “pissenlit” . “Lit” means “bed”, I’ll leave it to you to translate the rest .

Mother nature does that – I just captured what she created. Everything in creation is beautiful – people, plants, animals, fish, insects, rocks – if we stop and really look at and appreciate them.
