Oh braces. I'll have to say it's by lying big time to say mine aren't bugging me. Had the bottoms tightened last night for the first time, and now I'm starving but don't have courage to eat a lot.
;) I hesitated to "like" your post @Poka_Doodle. All these years later, I still remember how painful having braces tightened was. Not fun at all!:thSoup & smoothies might be on the menu for a while. Back in my day. :old I didn't have smoothies to tide me over. :idunno

Thanks @baymule. These look yummy. I might have to find a source for dandelions, though. I don't remember seeing dandelions on our land last year. Although last Spring & Summer were a blur of activity! I didn't have a lot of time to stop & look around much. :th

This is the gravel (calechie) road that goes by our house. They call it a "county road" but it is more like a 1-1/2 lane, pot hole laden dirt road. Ah, the joys of living in the country! :oops:

That long, gravel lane speaks peace to my soul. I'd love to get a little farther off the beaten path. :)

Yeah. Except I don't eat those, I just either don't eat, bear through the pain, have yogurt or applesauce

When we lived in PA, our HOA put herbicides on the grass, to kill Dandelions & Clover. :thI tried to stop them, because those chemicals make me very sick. But the neighbors (who didn't have children) were worried about bees, on the blossoms, would sting the bare fee of children playing on the grass. Only the thing was, the few children that only occasionally played pin the grass always wore shoes. There was no concern about children & pets getting sick, or worse yet cancer, later in life.

I will definitely be looking for safe (not sprayed) dandelion flowers to pick, this spring. :D
