In Which We Realize There are no Dandelions in Our Yard and Rejoice

When we took a walk tonight, I noticed these funny yellow little flowers in some peoples yard.  And then it struck me - for the first time since we moved in, we aren't one of the first on the block to have them!  We've had a lawn service come in and spray, seed and things like that in our front yard.

And then when we got home, I walked the dog to the back yard and the rejoicing stopped; plastic pool, bags of leaves from last fall, dead spots from moldering leaf piles and assorted debris.  Yuck.
