I don't understand the dandelion hate. They are puffballs for maybe two weeks tops. The rest of the time they're either invisible or beautiful flowers.

Also, I'm like the only yard with fireflies in my neighborhood.

Lotion, as in it puts it on it's skin or it gets the hose again?

My gran used to pick them and make dandelion wine.

I like the smell of yellow dandelions too. Had a lot of those around in the town where I grew up

I’ve been supporting pollinators and bugs at my house since I moved here.

I have a portion of my yard set aside for lightning bug habitat.

So many this year … that my neighbor got a bug zapper. I hate that fucking thing.

What kind of monster doesn't like lightning bugs?

I think they’re just angry at bugs in general, bug zappers are just … dumb.
