dandelions

my pastor's kids just picked some dandelions and brought them to me in my office. how charming. they're so cute.
in other dandelion-related news (betcha didn't think there would be *more*, didya?), yesterday i was looking out the back window at church at our lawn that i'm fairly certain hasn't been mowed yet this spring. some unidentifiable animal (gopher? groundhog? prairie dog?) was skipping about the yard, eating the tops off hundreds of dandelions like they were about to disappear. i didn't realize they were such a hot commodity. also, i don't think they taste very good. pretty acidic, if the smell and residue are any hint. gross.
i'm in a pretty good mood today... i had two very successful presentations yesterday, and so i feel fairly satisfied in my work world for the time being. aviance and i spoke to the board of directors at the office yesterday, and we both did well. they seemed pleased with us, which is good since i'd like to stick around here. and my session (that's council, for you crc-ers) was *very* supportive of our new after-school program idea, and so it's going to take off! yay! so thanks to all of you were praying about those yesterday. it was a good day.
