I am not one for sitting doing nothing. When it strikes I take a long walk with the dog. That usually makes the boredom disappear.<br />There is a plant here in Britain called 'Jack Go To Bed At Noon' and that is exactly what it does whatever the weather. It looks very like a dandelion.<br />From your pictures I can see that your American dandelion is the same as our British one.<br />I hope your boredom passes soon and that you continue to be well.<br />Johnjohn bainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624118202659480062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-71545748246071859562013-05-15T04:41:02.949-05:002013-05-15T04:41:02.949-05:00I like dandelions best when they have gone to seed...I like dandelions best when they have gone to seed - they are fun to chase!Sparklehttp://www.sparklecat.comnoreply@blogger.com
