Gosh, I remember the day when I thought Dandelions were so beautiful....they seemed to be the first yellow flowers in bloom that would go to seed and be oh so purdee. Blowing the seeds was magical and I would do this in my backyard where I was able to be a child in motion.
Just spreading the beauty......just spreading the joy.
It would be much later that I learned that blowing the seeds was a big NO-NO.
When the WEEDS have not been sprayed with weed killer, the greens of the Dandelion make for a great Salad.
Will share this Dandelion Salad Recipe.
Perhaps this will nourish your body and bring some well needed smiles.
Found this old recipe in one of my books while going through my treasures.
Yummmmmm....can't wait to try it.
Sorry, no pic. Will try to fix this and then will share pic.
Have a dandy day,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)

Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
