White Day did not happen this year, but the yellow fields are happening right now. Every year, during the early spring (and we are experiencing early spring right now) the country roads and fields are covered with yellow flowers. It's quite pretty.
Of course, if you look at the flowers carefully you will discover they are dandelions. Lots and lots of dandelions...aka WEEDS. In a few days the yellow flowers will change to fuzzy white puffballs and the same fields will look like a snowfall has happened. My mother would go nuts if she saw all those dandelions in her yard.
All is not lost though. Look carefully at the pretty yellow flower (forget that it is a weed) and it looks a bit like a mum. I checked it out...and the dandelion is a distant relative to the mum. One is a weed, the other is a beautiful flower. Thus, think of our fields as filled with tiny beautiful yellow mums and the picture is perfect.
