there are 3
things i do only about twice a year: cut my hair, wash the car, and mow the lawn. in early spring, i knock the grass down every time it gets knee-high, but once the rains abate after that initial exuberant growth spurt i more or less let it go, only line trimming spots that get a little too bushy. some see dandelions as weeds, but the difference between them and wildflowers is purely semantic. Taraxacum are self-portraits of the sun, embody its light, withdraw and avert their gaze at night. they're little yellow barstools for bees who stagger off drunk on their nectar or pass as dainty hors d'oeuvres for slender legged sophisticates who nibble their heads as if they were delicacies presented on elegant skewers. i've always wanted to "grow food, not lawns" but now i see we were doing it all along.... |
