Dandelion Constellations

Got to do a fast post.......my friend who has the seven daughters just called and wondered if I could ride along with her to the Amish community about 15 miles from here, to shop at the bulk food store. She doesn't know the way, so that's why I'm going along. It should be fun; I haven't been there for several years. Maybe I can sneak my camera along, to get a photo of the workhorses or some buildings........the Amish folks don't care to have their own pictures taken, for religious reasons........they consider it a "graven image".

Yesterday, Miss Kitty basked out in the lawn for awhile, enjoying some leisurely time away from her ever-hungry four kittens. I'm sure she can't wait for them to be weaned........I don't blame her.

The bounteous crop of dandelion blooms were scattered throughout the grass in designs similar to constellations of stars. Hmm.......what could we name this constellation below? I've never understood, really, how star constellations were recognized or named........it rather random........one person may see a certain image in a grouping of stars, and someone else might see a different image. So how were the constellations decided upon?? That's something I've always wondered about.
As Miss Kitty basked and I pondered deep thoughts, Tux was sulking in the shadow of a rusty barrel. He was mad because I didn't take HIS picture when he was lying in the dandelion patch. Oh, my.......its just impossible to keep everyone happy at all times. Why even try!
