Flowers Only a Mother Could Love

Dandelion flowers are such a sunny yellow.
I give them to my Mom because I am her best fellow.

I gather up bunches and put them in a cup.
I put them way high up
So that the babies won't touch.
Because Quinn has been known to munch.

I just love to pick flowers for my Mom.
'Cause she is truly the bomb.

Susie said...

I love gardening but there isn't anything sweeter than getting a dandelion bouqet from your child:-)

Samantha said...

I love getting the dandelion bouquets. My son is 8 and he still likes to pick them for me. He also likes to pick buttercups. My husband's grandmother has a ton of buttercups each year and she always lets my son get however many he wants for me. :)

Tamara Jansen said...

Oh yes, those were the days.....dandelions and buttercups brought home for mom.

Now they can drive and have jobs and.....I get flowers from the florist from them.......just because :)

My nephew gave me some wild daisies that he picked at the park. I put them in the nicest vase I have cause they were so special to me.

You really have a way of capturing the most simple, sweet things about having kids!

Otter Thomas said...

I used to pick those weeds for my mom too. Now my dad has all kinds of flowers. He couldn't have had those with me around.

My little neighbor down the street brings these to me all the time.

Scary Mommy said...

No flowers are better!!!! So very sweet. :)

Zip n Tizzy said...

Look at him on double duty! Picking flowers for his mommy and taking care of the weeding at the same time.

CaraBee said...

So sweet! Wouldn't it be nice to see dandelions as beautiful flowers again, instead of as weeds.

Jenners said...

My son is always giving me dandelions and clovers ... and it just makes me happy.

Helene said...

How sweet.

My daughter loves giving me dandelions.

debi9kids said...

Oh! I just love getting dandelions! I don't have any dandelion pickers anymore, but in a few years, the twins will be old enough :)

For now, i have Keith, who picks my lilacs from the bushes for me!

LOVE your photos! Precious!

Givinya De Elba said...

That's gorgeous! Am loving your posts, and thanks so much for your email encouragement this week!

Dumb Mom said...

Dandelion flowers? Are those the ones I throw over my shoulder when they aren't looking, which really only results in them picking me tons more because I keep "losing" them?

momma said...

how sweet! i &haerts; bouquets like that!!!

Bethany said...

I love when kids at school give me dandelion bouquets! We make them into halos :)

pan x 8 said...

I love that our choice of flowers are all the "pretty" weeds that pop up anywhere! I will always hold a special place in my heart for them!

Casey's trio said...

Oh yes, dandelions are very popular in our house too!

Ash said...

Amazing how they know how to make us melt that early in life.

Flowers from sweaty, dirty hands - NOTHING better!!

theUngourmet said...

That is darling! I also love the running post right above this!

Thanks so much for the compliments. I'm so glad you like my blog! :0)

Michelle said...

My kids especially my youngest try to pick dandelion for me all the time. I try to nicely explain to them that they are weeds but oh well it is the thought that counts!

Great verse! You should write for Hallmark!
