D is for Dandelions.
Up here on the Pocono Plateau of Monroe County where our town of Pocono Pines is situated, the dandelion crop is very abundant this year. The fields fill with gorgeous yellow flowers, and then up pop the fluffy heads and it looks as if it’s snowing as the seeds take flight on the breeze. After that we have fields of stems looking rather shaggy and forlorn. Then the mowers come and cut them all down only for the process to start all over again. Everything in its time, the cycles of life continue, day to day, month to month, season to season, and year to year.
I took these photos over the past weekend. Not wanting to miss blogging, I wrote this post from the hospital where I am unexpectedly confined for 3 to 5 days for tests and observation after a bout of painful diverticulitis. No fun, but my friends are wonderful and so is my sweet husband who braved a 60-mile round trip to bring me clothes, iPhone charger, companionship and love. ❤️ The life cycle continues with me as well. 🙏

I decided to take the A to Z Photo Challenge around my little town of Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania. We’ve had a home here for over 10 years, and taking this challenge is offering me the opportunity to get to know it even better than I have. I hope you will enjoy this photo journey as much as I do!

I’m sorry you are under the weather. I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you, Sandy. It puts me in mind of the Remembrances, in this case that I am of the nature to have illness. It’s okay. It’s part of life.
You are right about that.

Thanks so much, Xenia. I’m home and feeling lots better. I’m on killer antibiotics which I’m trying to offset with probiotics and kefir, and I have 3 doctor appointments coming up. Kiss the dogs for me 😘.
Thank you Shielagh 💜 Thinking of you and hope all will go well at the doctors’ appointments 🍀 Much love from all of us here 💖🐾🐾
Thanks so much, Xenia! Yours is a lovely name. I think it’s a good sign that I’m getting restless, even if I don’t have much energy yet.
Hope you are feeling better Sunny💕
Getting there, but it’s a slow go. Thank you, Val.
