150 minutes to make Serves 6
Dandelions, much like tripe, are one of those things that are eaten by only the poorest and richest of people. Just another one of those things in life.

let the dandelions be. I have them too, and just mow them along with the other green stuff in my lawn. I love the flowers.

it was a nest of baby rabbits! My flower beds tend to be untidy, but Mamma Rabbit thinks they look just fine!

We have one that visits the yard, but I don't know where it beds down.

even if I knew how to post one! Consider this post a plea to forgo the pesticides and herbicides this year!
