The dandelions are popping up everywhere. Some see weeds and get annoyed. Others might see food. To a kid, the dandelion is the perfect flower to pick for mom because of its abundance and bright yellow color.
I can’t say I have ever had much use for a baster. I’m not too fond of turkey or other foods you might need to baste.
To my three year old, a baster is a hot lava shooter. And when it cracks, you need to buy a new one. Can’t have the lava leaking out.
Sometimes, it’s nice to stop and consider the perspective of a three year old. Or maybe just act like one.
Just thought I’d give you a little reminder.

Lovely thoughts. If only we could all stay as playful and innocent as a 3-year old.
And what a beautiful photo of dandelions!
It’s too bad we lose those playful, innocent thoughts, isn’t it?
The photo is from Flickr. I loved it as well! 🙂
I love this! It’s so fun to look at our every day surroundings from a 2 or 3 year old’s perspective. And I will say that I’m a big fan of dandelions – they have lovely flowers, they’re very nutritious (young leaves go well in salad), and you can make coffee from their dried, ground-up roots. And yes, they do make a lovely flower for mom – I can’t tell you how many I’ve been given and worn in my hair, much to the delight of my children. 🙂
Hmmm. Sounds like a good post in there – what a naturalist does with dandelions! I’ve know they have some nutritional value, but I don’t know what to do with them. 🙂
Love this!
I’ve been accused of being juvenile and immature because I find fart jokes hilarious or will act like a complete goofball out in public. To those who judge: Stick it! I usually consider people like that to be too uptight for their own good. I’d rather laugh, play, and goof around like a 3 year old knowing I enjoying life than live life being all stuffy and boring. Hey, my husband and I built a fort in our apartment late last year! That was fun. =)
Stopping by from SITS!
Agreed. My first job after college was driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. After that, it’s hard to take things too seriously. Life’s too short not to have fun. Love that you built a fort!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you for the reminder… I definitely needed that! I feel like “education” is taking away my perspective.

We all need a little reminder every now and then. I know I do. Thanks for visiting!
Thanks. It has probably been one of the crappiest days I have had in a very long time, and I needed those words very much.
Here from SITS.
Wow. So glad my words could help bring you up a little. Don’t forget to go out and smell the flowers…even if they are weeds!
Thanks for the visit from SITS!
