It’s been a cooler than normal summer thus far in the Last Frontier. Today we awoke to a fresh dusting of snowflakes on mountains peaks, and ‘seed-flakes’ on the ground.
A single dandelion plant can bloom multiple times each season with multiple flower heads producing over 15,000 seeds. Every puffy whitedandelion blowball seed head contains 150-200 seeds, each equipped with its own parachute to disperse it on the wind.
The leaves of Taraxacum officinale are rich in vitamins A, C and K, and can be used as a diuretic in salads; its brown roots can be roasted for coffee for liver health; and its flowers to make jellies and wine … an impressive resume for a common weed. Yet another example of evolution’s random happenings, or testimony of God’s unfathomable creativity?
“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth”

Keep Looking Up ^ … His best is Yet to Come!
