As a bonus, if some burglar decides to jump the wall, they might get a surprise!<br /><br />Now that we have dogs, I'd never do it. I've got those things stuck in leather hiking boots!

My yard is full of them.<br /><br />"A long-time resident just gets used to seeing them, gets used to being stuck by them, gets used to living (and walking) around them."<br /><br />"Resigned to," is a better choice of words for me. I may not be considered a long term resident, though.<br /><br />Yesterday when Stumpy and I were playing ball she got a sticker in her tongue. She had a total melt down while I tried to remove it. getting one in her paw is even worse, if she can't get it out.Cyndi and Stumpyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945219976457829612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-66897148244453638672011-04-05T08:43:45.867-07:002011-04-05T08:43:45.867-07:00this post is exactly why I love blogging. there ar...this post is exactly why I love blogging. there are so many thing in this world we will never see, things that are common in the books we read, but we have no idea what they are. these are incredible, i love them, except for the part about jumping on my clothes, ha ha. can't wait for the teddy bear. we all have things that are so common to us we don't SEE them, tropical plants here and flowering trees, i follow blogs in several countries and find all kinds of things, and tend to forget the US is as big and many countries and has all these CHOLLAS. thanks a bunch for telling me about them. can't wait to read a western so i can SEE them in my storyMadSnapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08163140037276496519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734461371716454022.post-70245874201924712482011-04-05T08:09:51.606-07:002011-04-05T08:09:51.606-07:00In the meantime, here is Chris' blog:

They are cool when the sun hits them at an angle. Some birds nest in this thing. Just watch out and don't get too close....or they'll actually jump and get stuck to you, in you, or on you. That's how they propagate around our desert.....clever plant:)Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.com
