I can see this dandelion from my kitchen window. I watch it as the months go by - while the water runs warm into the sink, while I wait for the kettle to boil, when I look down the street to see how much traffic there is . . .
From now on, you can watch it with me. It doesn't do much but remarkably, notably and all-on-its-ownedly . . . it's there.
So we'll see what it will do.

I've seen one of those before and have a hunch how the story ends! But I'll enjoy watching developments even so. Has that kettle boiled yet?
Hello John. I hope your hunch turns out to be accurate. Slow watching can turn out to be exciting. (Several kettles boiled so far. I'm a lots-of-cups-of-tea-in-a-day person.)
I look forward to seeing how it does over the coming months. xx

you could eat a few leaves, as it grows bigger
Ha ... This really is lovely and made me realise how I also spend seemingly hours just staring at the weeds in the cracks of the flag stones while also waiting for both the kettle and the hot water. Thank you Lucy!
I’m wondering if your kitchen faces out of your front or back window. Diana (two comments above), suggests eating the dandelion greens as the dandelion grows better, but two or three green leaves picked light now would be a good addition to a salad. If your kettle is a “watched pot”, it will never boil!
That will be dandy! dandee? dandey? well, whatever.
best wishes
