On the Window Sill

Dear Diary,

When I travel I pick up rocks; ones that catch my eye; ones that are especially pretty.  I pick up sea glass too.  Seeing those on my window sill is no big deal but a Dandelion puff?  In January?  Actually, I picked this tiny puffball in late November, long after the Dandelions were gone.  I looked out the kitchen window and saw one little white spot on the lawn out back and wondered what it could be.  I was so surprised to see it was a lone puff.  I picked it and brought it in and put it on the sill and forgot about it.  Today, I thought it would make a nice reminder of summer.  Our storm turned to all rain I am happy to say and a mild day today means no ice.  Hooray!
