As the Rolling Stones say, "Dandelion don't tell no lies, Dandelion will make you wise." Dandelions bloom on any warm day any time of the year, but they flourish in the warm winds of March and April after the freezing temperatures are gone. When they get ready to spread their seeds, the stems shoot up to almost a foot from the ground to give to give the fluffy seeds a greater chance of dispersal in the growing season. That's why Dandelions are virtually everywhere. That's pretty wise and they don't 'say' nothing. I'm approaching my late summer to autumn years and maybe this blog is my way of dispersing the things that move me to others out there. I just like to report on the vitality of life. As Dylan Thomas said, "The force that through the green fuse drives the flower/Drives my green age. . ."
I had a great 8 Miler down Ulmer, around Reflections and saw a lot of the natural world coming alive. My leg felt fine all the way. I had a time of 1:17:40 at 9:42 per mile.
