Dandelions, Dad and fishing.
This is the first one I've seen this year. This is a weed to most. But to me it is a very fond memory of my dad. I grew up near Cape Cod MA. My dad would take me fishing for a saltwater fish called Tataug. When the Dandelions bloomed in the spring the Tataug run would start. Each year my dad would call to tell me the Dandelions were in bloom, time to go fishing. Thanks dad. Thanks for teaching me to fish. I miss you.

What a sweet story.
I never see them as weeds. When I was little I picked them when they turned to puff balls and blew the seeds all over. To me they were first flowers and then items of fun.
