Awwww......Cacti Kisses. You know they don't mean anything personal by it. It is just our kids' way of saying they love us. Lovey dubby

Little secret I learned when it comes to p.pears and glochids. Rub your hand/fingers/whatever in the dirt! Yep. If you get glochids stuck in your fingers just rub them very vigorously in some dry dirt and that should get the little buggers out. Works like a charm for me.

You really can't beat p.pears for mass blooms and a wave of color in the yard. So very pretty despite their meaner qualities. In a way you can't fault them or chollas for that either considering every critter around wants to take a bite out of you.

Speaking of color, here's some from our sunset last night. View from my back yard. It was 80 yesterday! Blinking That's our May temps.

Hoping....hoping and praying for that rain that was forecasted today. Crossing Fingers! They said 40%-60% of showers late today into tonight and possibly a 20% chance of rain tomorrow. If not, this will mean we've had only ONE DAY of measurable rain in 5.5 months! I'll also have to go out and water on Thursday. I don't want to do that. I'm tired!
