I don’t know what happened this year, but the dandelions are EVERYWHERE!

AHH – dandelions and clover, over and over!

I have tried in vain to up root them (see right side of the picture) to prevent further infestations, but it feels like I’m fighting a losing battle.  We will likely just break down and buy a weed killer.

Spring has been rough here in Wisconsin, as it usually is.  April was especially cold and wet. It’s been warming up lately, and then today our tree was in bloom.

Ah, Spring at last! So pretty!

This was a little reminder today to look up and enjoy the blossoms. There will always be some weeds underfoot. Spring is a sweet and short season, leading up to summer fun. Forget the weeds. Focus on what’s beautiful. Breathe it in and enjoy!
