It’s that time of year, the time I dread: Yardwork Season. As the days get warmer and drier, it seems the only thing that wants to grow any more is the dandelions. I dig them, smother them in salt, drown them in vinegar, and scald them with bowling water (so far I am doing my best to garden green, so no chemicals here). Despite my hours of effort, they happily spout their perky yellow flowers and quickly send their puff-ball babies to inhabit any open spaces in my yard, of which there are few these days. Did you know dandelions even proliferate from the dead? It’s true! Even the deadest of the dead mange to spawn from the weed bin. I think I’m losing the fight.

What is that old saying? Oh yeah, “If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em”. Or in my case invite them to become part of your Modular Wine Rack. So, that’s it. I throw in the towel. I’ve decided to become a vintner, and my specialty will be Dandelion Wine. With the amount of flowers on my property, I should have my wine racks filled in no time. And just to show my love and appreciation for my new dandelion friends, I’ll adorn each glass I pour with a Flower Power Wine Charm. That’ll show ‘em!
