~How the story of We Call'em Daddy lions~
By Daris Howard
I've always hated dandelions, to the pint of meticulously digging every
one of the dastardly weeds out of my otherwise lush green lawn. And after
I did, my yard looked great - that is, until the little yellow aliens
popped up again.
One day I decided it was time to take things up a notch. Armed with my
yard sprayer, I attacked everything yellow, pumping out so much liquid that if
the invaders didn't die from the poison, they would surly drown in it.
Well, I thought any dandelion so much as to considered taking root
in my yard would think twice.
And again, my yard looked great except for all the little brown circles that
were all around my beautiful green lawn.
You've heard of crop circles? We had lawn circles. Not as Mysterious,but
such more plentiful. But I enjoyed a weed free lawn for about a month,
until the sea of yellow came flooding back. Not just back,
But back with new ferocity.
So he geared up for an all - our assault.
Figuring the problem had to be dandelion seed blowing over from the
neighbor's yard, I also sprayed along the road and the property lines.
It was all my wife could do to keep me from spraying other
peoples lawns. Finally, the enemy had been eradicated.
Like clockwork, one month later, dandelions sprang up again.
Like monsters taking vengeance, they were multiplying exponentially.
I started in disbelief. Outside of an enclosing my entire yard inside a building,
I had done everything imaginable. Artificial turf now seemed an
Attractive option.
Steeped in frustration, I suddenly noticed my 4-year-old-daughter.
She walked into the yard, whirling around like a ballerina, grasping
two handfuls or snowy -white dandelions.
A cloud of vicious little seeds swirled into the lawn all
around her and she watched them fall gleefully.
When the stems were seedless, she threw them down, walked
across to a neighbors field and came back with two more handfuls.
And as I watched, my jaw on the ground, she planted hundreds,
if not thousands of new dandelions right before my eyes.
I asked her what in the world she was doing. She grinned and said
"I'm planting you flowers, "Planting me Flowers?"I echoed.
"Yes, Every time I go to pick you some, the ones in our yard
have died and turned brown, so I have to go a long ways to get some to replant
them. I have to keep going farther and farther , but don't worry Daddy,
I'll always have some for you."
My heart felt funny. I asked, "Why do you plant them for me?'
"Because," she said, hugging me,
"God named them Daddy lions after you, so I could show you I love you."
You know, now that I what I think about it, Dandelions add so much
to a lawn I can't imagine why anyone would ever want to get rid of them.
I hope that you all Enjoyed Daris Howard's
