Shirley said...: It is getting closer and the snow has been melting. I am waiting for my magnolia tree to bloom. It won't be to long before it will start budding out. Hopefully it won't be blooming and then we get another frost. Have a wonderful weekend.; March 6, 2010 at 1:09 PM

Have a great weekend!

I got a kick out of your dad watching the Westerns over and over again...My mom owns a whole season of Bonanza that she watches over and over again as well. But sadly, I thinks that's due to her alzheimer's, not just her love of Westerns. Your dad sounds like a keeper. : )

About Dandelion Wishes--Why a Dandelion you ask???

As I was contemplating starting my blog and opening my etsy shop, many thoughts swam in my head. What would I write about, what would I sell and what in the world would I call my blog and shop? Oh I had a list of names--which one should I choose? I finally decided on Dandelion Wishes. Why that name you ask? Why a dandelion--they are such a nuisance poking their little yellow heads right out into the beautiful green grass. Then there are those little white seed parachutes floating over my lawn just looking for a place to land and grow more little yellow heads in my beautiful grass. If I would have stopped at that thought I never would have choosen the dandelion to represent my blog. Who want's to be known as a nuisance?? Not me.
As I stopped and really looked at the little yellow flower, I discovered that it is really quite beautiful. With it's many petals and it's happy yellow color I found it to be really very cheery. And then the thought struck me. There are many things that come into our lives that at first we consider a nuisance. But if we really stop to think about them, often they can become a thing of beauty--teaching lessons and helping us to grow and mature in our lives. I couldn't think of a better name for my blog and shop. It helps to remind me to stop and see the beauty in all situations, to ask myself what lesson I am to be learning, and how does this situation help me to grow into a better person. I wish that for all of you my friends as well. Thank you for visiting Dandelion Wishes. I hope you enjoy your stay.
