Weeds?

Having missed the last 6 springs, I am really enjoying what others think of as weeds.
I love that even though the grass was cut about a day ago,
we already have a lot of yellow and purple covering our lawn.
My youngest is having a great time picking them and for the first time ever,
I have been the recipient of several bouquets of dandelions and wild violets.
My heart is very happy with what others may call weeds.

**edit/correction: I did get to see the Spring of 2008**
