Not-So-Dandy Dandelions

Dandelions are the Rambo of weeds. There is nothing that gives me more satisfaction then grabbing that little weed and feeling those little roots give way and pull out whole. Now if you've ever tried to do this you know that this is not easy, but I have a particular knack. This past weekend when I went home my dad and I weeded and even though he was on the other side of the yard he said he could tell when I got a whole one because I get very excited and I "woo-hoo". This is quite a turn however because just 10 short years ago I was yelling at my parents when they pulled them or mowed because I thought they were pretty.
