cactus

We have the best neighbors in the whole world.  There is nothing they wouldn't do for us.  But...I HATE their cactus.  Actually I didn't know they had a cactus until last Thursday when Clara fell into it.  It was awful.  She was covered in these tiny fiber-like cactus splinters.  They were all over her hands, on her face, on her chest and even on her back.  I guess she tripped and fell into it.  It took about 4 hours to get them all out and then we still keep finding them.  I found one in my leg today.  They are awful.  Clara was a trooper  She freaked out at first but then  she let me pick away.  I think I will stick with my grass.  Forget that nasty desert landscape.

Maybe you should move up to our neck of the woods...less cacti. :)

Ouch! That's awful. In that second picture Clara looks like Sherry and Marci.
