I try to save all the little flowers he picks me, cause one day I would like to take them out of all my big books, that I let them dry in, and put them into one scrapbook.
Caleb, however, usually picks me......Dandelions. Yes, weeds! I honestly believe that I have the world's largest collection.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) means "lion's teeth." The name derives from the appearance of it's flowers.
The leaves contain high levels of potassium and it is great in reducing high blood pressure. The Dandelion root is one of the most effective detoxifying herbs; it is good for your liver, kidneys, and gallbladder. So, it is even a healthy flower. I think I'll put it in my salad next time.
You know what, those Dandelions are so special to me! When I see him coming to me smiling and with one in his hands, his anticipation of what my reaction will be, is priceless. He knows he just made me happy and I sure let him know that he did. With a thankful heart I accept, and excited I go put it in one of my books to dry.
