Title: Tumbleweed
Post by: 2-Wheeler on February 02, 2008, 10:16:12 pm

We have our share of tumbleweed around here. When the wind blows, it becomes a nuisance. Here's what it looks like after a storm:

Today we cleaned up after one of those wind storms. Here are some shots of the action as we burned the tumbleweeds:

This is just part of the country life. Never had this kind of fun in the city!

David, that tumbleweed is something else!!!  I have heard about it, but never actually seen it.  Nice pictures, I like the colour of your porch by the way, very inviting looking.  Have a wonderful day, Cindi

OOhhh, FIRE!!!  One of my favorite things bout living in the country!! We don't have tumbleweeds on this side of the mtns but dried blackberry vines work!  Great bonding experiences for the family...educational too for the kids.. :-D
