FINALLY! I’ve been trying to see the comet for days. It’s not very bright…but, better late than never. 💫 I just love the cosmos.

Sometimes, I think we give up just a little too soon. When your underneath all the dirt and heavy rock, it is hard to see how close you are to that breakthrough moment. Just keep going! Eventually you will see that sliver of light, then reach for the sun. ☀️

“Tree Bells” These decorative pottery bells weathered their first storm here in The Wild…and they are still hanging strong!

Everyday is a great day to start something new…to start another try at a failed attempt, to meet a new soul, to be a little kinder to yourself and others, to see a new perspective. 🧡

Please, PLEASE stop using w**d killers like round up! It harms our bees, which is our life line in this world. I personally LOVE seeing these little yellow flowers scattered all over a lawn. SAVE THE BEES, please!!! 🐝 🌸 🐝

Here are some interesting facts about the dandelion flower:

The dandelion is the only flower that represents the 3 celestial bodies of the sun, moon and stars. ☀️ 🌙 ⭐️. The yellow flower resembles the sun, the puff ball resembles the moon and the dispersing seeds resemble the stars.

The dandelion flower opens to greet the morning and closes in the evening to go to sleep. 😴

Every part of the dandelion is useful: root, leaves, flower. It can be used for food, medicine and dye for coloring.

Up until the 1800s people would pull grass out of their lawns to make room for dandelions and other useful “w**ds” like chickw**d, malva, and chamomile.

The name dandelion is taken from the French word “dent de lion” meaning lion’s tooth, referring to the coarsely-toothed leaves. 🦁

Dandelions have one of the longest flowering seasons of any plant.

Dandelion seeds are often transported away by a gust of wind and they travel like tiny parachutes. Seeds are often carried as many as 5 miles from their origin!

Animals such as birds, insects and butterflies consume nectar or seed of dandelion.🐦 🐛 🐜 🦋 🐝.

Dandelion flowers do not need to be pollinated to form seed.

Dandelion can be used in the production of wine and root beer. Root of dandelion can be used as a substitute for coffee. 🍷 🍺

Dandelions have sunk their roots deep into history. They were well known to ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, and have been used in Chinese traditional medicine for over a thousand years.

Dandelion is used in folk medicine to treat infections and liver disorders. Tea made of dandelion act as diuretic.

If you mow dandelions, they’ll grow shorter stalks to spite you.

Dandelions are, quite possibly, the most successful plants that exist, masters of survival worldwide. 💪

A not so fun fact: Every year countries spend millions on lawn pesticides to have uniform lawns of non-native grasses, and we use 30% of the country’s water supply to keep them green.

The clay used makes a difference with glazes. On this little cup, I used the same glazes as yesterday’s post but the cup was made with white stoneware. Same glazes, different clay. The Turkish Amber on this clay looks like a dark brown vs. the other looking more golden yellow. I love both. 🧡
