This year's tumbleweed crop is impressive... and I've never seen anything like this in the six years I've been docked in Beautiful La Hacienda Trailer Park. The grounds are overrun with these damned things. And yeah, I could take better shots if I were outside... but I just got up and haven't gotten dressed yet. Besides that, it's cold outside and I've just poured my first cup.
Priorities, Gentle Reader. Priorities.

Coming from the barren Northeast (barren of tumbleweeds, that is) I've always found them fascinating. The only place I've ever seen them is in Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons, or maybe a Three Stooges short.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said Buck, those damn tumblethingys always bring back memories of Dodge City....
ReplyDeleteJust like any crop, there are good years and bad years - this was a good year for tumbleweed.
ReplyDeleteStill trying to figure out a way I can make money of our crops of tumbleweeds. LOL!
ReplyDeleteJim: They ARE fascinating, up to a point. That point being when they overrun EVERY danged thing!
ReplyDeletePat: Yep... the dusty, deserted Western town's street with a tumbleweed blowing down the middle of it is an iconic image.
Lou: True, dat!
Jenny: Let me know when you figure it out, OK? I have lotsa free time to assist in this space. Especially if there's MONEY involved! ;-)
Wow, that is an impressive crop indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe year I lived in Pahrump, NV, though musta been the best season for tumbleweeds EVAR...they were everywhere and were a huge pain to clean up, literally.

ReplyDeleteI hear THAT. I'm wondering how The Management here at Beautiful La Hacienda Trailer Park is gonna deal with these. And when...
