Why “Dandelions in the Sidewalk”?

Why choose the name Dandelions in the Sidewalk for my blog?

First, dandelions are a special flower in our house. My husband and I are both military brats and the dandelion is the flower of the military child because of its resilience and habit of traveling all over the world. Second, I wanted a symbol of hope and humor. A dandelion takes root and grows, even thrives, in places that seem antithetical to life, such as cracks in sidewalks. There is also something so funny about finding a dandelion growing in a place where we have expressly forbidden plants to grow, such as cracks in sidewalks.

It is my hope, that through this medium, I can bring hope and humor to the everyday!

Enjoy!
