It's supposed to be excellent for arthritic joints - I plan on making some for my father next time we travel up to Wisconsin to visit my dad. He's got pretty severe arthritis, and I think he'd like this. Best part, I can have my younger kids go out picking the dandelions for me!<br /><br />http://domesticservitude.blogspot.com/2009/05/dandelion-massage-oil.html<br /><br />(btw I love that site. So many women nowadays look at domestic work as shameful, to be avoided, anti-feminist. I don't see it that way, and I love seeing a site that focuses on the joys and rewards of domestic work.)Patricialynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656235987162214880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-57254360411892676002011-04-28T21:25:49.096-04:002011-04-28T21:25:49.096-04:00I love dandelions myself!

I'm happily eating dandelion greens though. I actually cured my cat of a fatal disease with dandelion. It's why I took it as my online handle.<br /><br />It's great to see others who appreciate that wonderful little weed.dandelionladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03370628921766628674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-55369163805739556432011-04-28T14:22:12.537-04:002011-04-28T14:22:12.537-04:00I absolutely LOVE dandelions.

I do not treat our land with weed and feed. because I want our kids and animals to be able to go outside and not have to worry about getting poisoned. I just thought of another use for your dandelions. We had a little old Italian grandpa as a neighbor who would collect the dandelions to make dandelion wine.Lisa - the Granola Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09020431743182581746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-62641119725821489472011-04-28T14:08:49.213-04:002011-04-28T14:08:49.213-04:00I'm blogging tonight about my dandelion blosso...I'm blogging tonight about my dandelion blossom jelly!

Every plant has its place, but I'd say dandelions' place is in the yard!Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12054057713267875769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007490949582525706.post-31980279153145687462011-04-28T11:15:30.481-04:002011-04-28T11:15:30.481-04:00I love dandelions too.Here, in the spring there ar...I love dandelions too.Here, in the spring there are beautiful fields of yellow or there will be if the sun gets a chance to shine..
