I'm gone for a few days and

OK, it was a bit more than a few days....
Coming home after 2 months in Japan I found my yard bright with dandelions. Actually I really like them and waited 2 more weeks before mowing the lawn.

I'm mentioned my enjoying dandelions in the yard some time ago and got a comment: "Yea, I bet your neighbors really are unhappy with you!" Not really, you see my yards in the middle of 120+ acres of boreal forest and my closest neighbors, the rabbits, robins, chikadees, etc. are quite delighted when I let the dandelions grow. :-)
