Truly, Save the Dandelions

Calling: All those who have survived the HeatWave (capital HW) and their yards.

Noticed: Lack of dandelions

Cause: intense sunlight, lack of H2O, and the typical response to mow even the brown stuff.

I am distraught. I am upset. I may not be able to complete on full sentence on the terrifying effects of Global Warming. While you and your SUV are cooled perfectly to a splendid 70 degrees please notice (to your left, out your auto window) the lack of nature's true beauty: dandelions.

So what they are considered a weed, the dandelion is one of the most aggressive herbs in the world. Not only is the heatwave killing them softly with its song, the brown crunchy thing that is not grass is also a sad effect on what we used to call grass (this latter substance I believe belongs in the hay and uncomfortable family). Yet you don't see articles printed about the death of dandelions, or for the higher good trees and heysus- even grass! GW (that is: Global Warming) has not received the right media attention. And while I am on the phone everyday dialing SuV dealer's and telling them to take the latest Lexus trend off the line, I know that nothing short of a miracle will stop the madness. Lexus won't listen, the hybrid is still too scary to be driven, dandelions have died, and today it was a freaking gazillion degrees outside-- a bird could die in that heat!

Please- I beg of you. Take this to heart:

Save the Dandelions Ye Merry Soldiers, Save them One Valuable Soul at a Time.
