A Precious Gift
When I was out for my morning walk yesterday, a sweet young girl ran out from her yard … hand extended, holding a dandelion for me.
After I thanked her, I asked if I could take her picture … she smiled broadly and replied, “Yes please!!”

Her beautiful gesture set the tone for my entire day!

What’s in a Name?
Sedum Morganianum, AKA Donkey Tail, or Burro’s Tail.
Although the equine names are far easier to pronounce, the botanical name seems more likely as I’ve never seen a donkey/burro with a tail that looks like this.
Have you?
