Dandelions, yes that's right dandelions. When I lived in New Jersey if you had a dandelion on your lawn you were some sort of a weirdo.Case in point. One time the guy who use to live across the street from me told me that he was thinking of killing the dandelions on his neighbors lawn in the middle of the night, because the neighbor was not killing the dandelions fast enough, and they were infecting his lawn. The man was passionate wirdo. But you know I was in the same mind set as well. I have now come to love this little yellow flower. Maine people love the dandelions, there on lawns and they sometimes cover whole fields, it's beautiful. In New Jersey it's a weed, in Maine it's a flower.
The picture is one that I took, in the spring, at Fort Knox in Bucksport Maine.

So let me get this straight,:
The guy who use to live across the street from you told you that he was thinking of killing the dandelions on his neighbors lawn in the middle of the night, because the neighbor was not killing the dandelions fast enough.
And
You were of the same mind set.
And
I was your neighbor
And therefore
I might not have been diligent enough in my dandelion eradication.
Not so!
Willie, I was just in a Maine state of mind before you!
P.S. You need a two year old to pick three dandelions from your lawn and proudly give them to his grandmother because they are “too beautiful” and you need to share that beauty. That will get the stick out from up your butt on obsessive lawn maintenance.
I had my stick extracted about 6years ago. I feel at peace now. And now I walk like everyone else.
