Carpet of Yellow

Yesterday while out running errands I came across this lovely expanse of yellow.

Imagine the next two photos side by side to get the panoramic view of where these yellow posies came from.

This is our post office, located on the main highway though town.

Now one more quick shot.

This is a close up of what is creating that carpet of yellow above.

Yep, dandelions. Thousands of dandelions.

Guess Uncle Sam cut weed removal out of the postal budget?

Update, Update!

I revisited the post office today and found it now looks like this.

Not a single bit of yellow on the lawn.

Instead it is full of seed heads that look like white puffballs.
