There's just something about dandelion. Maybe it's her bright and sunny appearance after a long, cold, colorless winter, or the way every part of the plant is so useful. Maybe it's the way she, so cleverly, spreads her seeds with the irresistible promise of a wish, or her subtle f**k you to every sidewalk crack, manicured lawn enthusiast, and neatly trimmed garden bed caretaker in the way she grows with such wild determination...

For so many reasons, I'm glad that I live in a world where there are dandelions.

So I thought we'd make shortbread cookies with some of their petals today, because I'm also glad I live in a world where there are cookies.
