Love this post. A wonderful family friend I grew up with grew up on a farm, had a big garden and a front and back yard with lots of Dandelions. She was so kind and like a neighborhood Auntie, she lived a few doors down from my Granny.

I was one of the kids who liked to visit with her and be one of her helpers. Many times I helped her pick Dandelion so she could make Dandelion greens. She put them in soups and she knew a lot about plants, she grew up on a farm in Danville, Illinois.

She would tell me how people look at her yard and see weeds but she saw good things to eat.
