The last dandelion
20th May 2022
Over the last couple of weeks I have been a model of self restraint!
Most evenings and early mornings, a young hare has been feasting on the lawn filling its dear, little cheeks with lush, clover leaves and tender, new, grass stalks.
Last night I spied the perfect dandelion, in the perfect location, in the middle of the lawn. In fact it was the last dandelion left so my hopes were high for a chance of a sweet, little dandelion and hare moment.
But look what happened!
Before the light became good, before the hare had made an appearance, before I was even ready..a bullfinch came and stole the last dandelion and didn't even have the grace to look at the camera while he did it!
The little hare did eventually appear as did the inevitable squirrel but given the lawn will be mown this weekend, my dandelion and hare moment may be over for this year
