the Dandelions
Winston had never seen dandelions before, so the kids took him to pick bouquets....
Two weeks later, all the yellow flowers were gone - they'd turn to seed....
When I was little we used to pretend that if we blew on the dandelions after they'd gone to seed, all the little fluffs would go flying off like tiny fairies. Well, all the carpets of yellow flowers are gone for another year, and all that's left are fields of fluff-balls everywhere.
Some of the girls went out to "send off the fairies"....Winston came along....

Winston came along to watch....
The girls demonstrated how to blow....
Winston thought he'd give it a try....
Ooooops!!
"You're supposed to blow lightly, not incinerate them!!"
"Well, those fairies aren't going anywhere!"
