THANKSGIVING-THE STALWART DANDELION

Mr. Grumpy Oak finally gave up 99% of his leaves over the past couple of days. My neighbor has been out there everyday mowing the leaves. Today was partly sunny, temps in mid-40's with a light wind. With snow showers rumored to arrive Sunday, I thought I'd better get out there and finished up the leaves for the season. About mid-day, I came across this guy:

There's been enough rain and warmth to mimic March so he gave it a go, his head craned towards the waning late November sun. Not sure if he'll make it to seed but I bet he will go dormant and I'll see him again in the early Spring.
