It’s spring, which means the dandelions are back. I’ve been working in the yard to kill the buggers before they spread too much (why are they always in the grass and never in the forest?). Years ago I gave up fighting them in the orchard, and sure enough, they’re back there with a vengeance.
Interestingly, in addition to a gazillion dandelions, our smaller orchard also has a gazillion little purple flowers. You can see a blanket of them in the photo above. There aren’t any in the larger orchard, which is literally twenty feet away. Odd.
Pepper says I need to stop worrying about the Yellow Menace and let Kyra and Greta take care of them once we’ve moved away. It’s hard to do when I see those little yellow petals sprouting all over our lawn… argh…
