We played outside today with friends during a brief respite from the rain. Their yard was filled with wonderful dandelions and we ran around making wishes.
Believing that dandelion wishes don't come with the same caveat of secrecy as birthday or first star or bale of hay wishes, I'll tell you about ours.
My first wish was for love and health and happiness for my family and friends.
My second wish was for a friend about to have a baby.
Sis, when asked her wish, said, "cake."
Buddy said he wished for musical instruments.
As we blew the little seeds we danced the twirly-whirly dandelion dance.
And then Sis told me to wish for cake. And Bud told me to wish for musical instruments.
We danced some more.
I wished for a Democrat in the White House.
And for peace.
And for relief in China, Myanmar, and other places of devastation, loss, and unrest.
And for many more dandelion dances in the rain.
