Square One Notes 
Very poetic pictures.
Soft as the promise of a stroke,
from a distant Autumn wind.
Dandelions are my all time favorites…

Isn’t it interesting that we have some of the same plant life but different. Little variations here and there.

My grandparents made Dandelion Wine when I was a kid! I never tried it of course. Hmmm, I’ll try some now.

Wow! Cool. I think you should sample some and let me know what it’s like! I’ve had roasted dandelion root as a coffee substitute. It’s not bad. Take care John.

That resembles the wild lettuce that grows, wild of course, in my yard. As far as dandelion wine goes, although I’ve never had it, that is the title of a favorite Ray Bradbury book I read when a kid.

I’ve heard of dandelion wine but have never had the chance to try it. It makes me wonder about the taste though. It would be fun to have a sip. I love the color of the one you have here. Take care, my friend.

The color struck me too Chris. Thank you. I love coffee but more than one cup makes me jittery. I have tried roasted dandelion root as a coffee substitute that I can drink when I want a 2nd cup of coffee without the shakes and the anxiety boost. I really like it. I’m out and need to buy more. You take good care too.

If you’re interested the brand I’ve tried is called Dandy Blend it has a big dandelion on the pkg. I found it on Amazon. Smooth mellow flavor. I enjoy it. 😉
