Day One Hundred and Eleven: The Lion's Tooth


Dandelion
- from the (old) French for "Tooth of the Lion," so named for the plant's fang-like grooved leaves.

That I did not know about dandelions. This I do know:

Most gardeners hate to deal with them.

Most kids love to make their skin yellow with them.

Most everybody loves to make a wish with them.

Most of all, they are a sign that spring is finally here!
