Pickles by Brian Crane for April 24, 2013

At least those dandelions won’t spread their seeds.

I’d rather have a bunch of dandelion flowers in a vase than in my lawn where they turn to puff balls and spray more seeds everywhere.

Don’t like ’em in the lawn, even less in the house! But I guess I could love just about anything my grandkids brought in! Just sayin …

Hey, Earl, if Nelson ever gets warts on his hands, the white sap from dandelions will remove them! So they are pretty, edible, and medicinal!

Just make them into dandelion wine and enjoy.

He must know that they are Gods gifts to kids. they are the only flower they can pick and no one will yell at them and they are appriciated by mom

One man’s weedAnother woman’s flowerit takes all kinds to make the worldit takes the whole world to hold ’em all

Just in case, though, hide the shotgun!

Remember this at Valentine’s Day, Earl. It’ll be much cheaper!

some old guys get more anal about the state of their lawns, and then there is this old guy – I just don’t care.

British Sterling Dandelions…

Dandelions in salad? I’ll try it! Thanks!

Get over yourself, Earl… They aren’t going to attack you.

Nelson is a very thoughtful boy.

I remember when we were small kids, my friend and I would pick a whole bunch of those darn things and stick them in a vase and set them on the neighbors porch, ring the doorbellthen run like hell.

hey, at least they aren’t making seeds and turning into more! I pay my kids to pick them as yellow flowers, and I don’t have to spray but I still have mostly grass, not a soild carpet of the buggers
