They can really interfere with the color scheme ya know? LOL! <BR/><BR/>I've read the 'Illustrated Man' by Bradbury but that's all. I'll have to add this book to my list of books to read someday.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09302867009278680416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532322712359180619.post-59458656431408393572008-04-19T08:24:00.000-05:002008-04-19T08:24:00.000-05:00I too love dandelions.

Good memories. <BR/><BR/>I've NOT read the Bradbury book, but will do so. YOu'll love this -- I read the first few sentences of the quote and thought, "Wow, Deb's writing is magnificent!!! I knew she could really write, but I've never seen her turn out anything like this." Then I saw it was a quote. Well, it's something to strive for, anyway, huh???<BR/><BR/>How to describe my creative endeavors this month? Well, perhaps a slow, thick stew, adding a pinch of this and that, a carrot, a turnip, a bay leaf. Let it simmer for a while, taste it, add more salt, simmer some more, taste another spoonfull -- ummm -- can't wait for a bowl of it. Contemplate adding more spice then deciding against it. Guess that sums up the re-write process pretty well, don't ya think?Being Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17257332079795227626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8532322712359180619.post-90774740341500031662008-04-18T13:26:00.000-05:002008-04-18T13:26:00.000-05:00Thanks for visiting, Deb!

One of my favourite plants IS the dandelion...because it's so important for bees and other pollinating insects. <BR/><BR/>and one of my favourite alltime books is Dandelion Wine. I read the first sentence of your excerpt and knew instantly what it was. I flash back to grade 9, when I first discovered Bradbury, and the sweetness of summer days that were full of magic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.com
