Offer a bouquet to your bunnies, goats, sheep, or horses.

Peel stem into long, vertical strips from the bottom, toss dandelion in water, watch strips curl. Very cool for kids.

Hold flower close to chin, see chin turn yellow (also cool for kids).

Toss young leaves into salads, or stir-fry in olive oil and garlic with other greens.

Make delicious dandelion flower fritters (Yum! See page 15 of May/June 2009 Hobby Farm Home for a recipe).

Gather lots of flower fluff to make dandelion jelly or wine.

My fondest dandelion dream goes like this: I gather my untamed beauties in bunches and sit on the deck in the sunshine, plucking fluffy petals to the tune of humming bumble bees and trilling song sparrows.

I cook up a batch of delicately-scented dandelion jelly and pour it into jars, where it shines like morning sun-rays. Then I bake up some scones, spread the sweet golden jelly on top, and savor every bite of spring.

Any other dandelion lovers out there?

Happy spring!
