Company

We had company last week for a few days. It was our friends Gene and Barb from Brogan, And Gene's sister. We had a wonderful time. Lots of visiting game playing & good food.We stayed up all night playing mexican train dominoes, At 3:30 the next am we went to bed.Lots of late nights, oh well it was fun. Anyway we went for a ride up Feilds Creek , first we saw 3 white tail deer. Which I have never seen in that part of the country before. Then we saw a black bear maybe 40 feet from the road. He just stayed right there eating , he would look up at us and then just go back to his eating. We watched him for about 20 mins. It was pretty neat......

Cactus

Ok crazy story, As you know we went to Arizona in February. Well while we were down there, I talked Lyle into cutting me some small pieces of Cactus we got Beaver tail, prickly pear and cholla teddy bear. He was much apposed to this from the start. His reasons being they have thorns and its not legal. Well I soon convinced him that, I would bail him out of jail (in a day or two). And here we are only a month and 1/2 later and he has all the spines picked out of his fingers. So I really think now he is glad he did that for me.LOL Anyway we brought the cuttings home to show the Grandkids. So I but them in a bowl of water in the kitchen window sill.Hoping they would stay fresh until I could show the kids.Well they didn't only stay fresh , they are getting new growth everyday. So when I went to pour myself a cup of coffee on monday, the Beaver tail had this magnificent bloom on it. I Couldn't believe my eyes. Maybe I do have a green thumb after all.
