Flo and I were taking a walk in Great Barrington last weekend and passed a lawn that was covered in dandelions. A carpet of yellow. It was pretty.
But my initial reaction was “weeds!!!”
Then we talked as we walked.
“Who labeled them weeds?”
“Do they know they’re weeds?”
“Is that bad?” and
“Do they care?”
It doesn’t change the beautiful yellow.
But they’re weeds and weeds are not good.
If I were “weeding” that lawn, I would certainly be thinking about it.
