OH Tumbleweeds!

We had a really big wind storm in Mead a few days after Christmas!
Jeremy went to take the Garbage out and a few minutes later he came in...

" um babe, come here"
"what, I am feeding Xander"
"Just come here you are not going to believe this"

I went and looked out the front door and this is what I found, a massive Guiness Book of World Records pile of tumble weeds.  No other house on the block had a pile like ours.  I thought maybe a mean neighbor piled them up in front of our house....but Jeremy said No!  We had a nice wind pocket and our house seems to collect them all!

So now the question is, what to do with them all?
Make centerpieces?
Tumbleweed Stew?
Tumbleweed Dolls?
Tumbleweed Valentines?

The possibilities are endless......
But I think we will just send them over our backyard fence to Tumble around the empty field and be free and hopefully the wind won't send them back anytime soon!

We live on a loop and we're near the middle of it. When there's a wind storm all the trash blows into our yard and it looks like a dump. So I would take the tumbleweeds!

We are lucky because although we do get many fierce wind storms, since we don't have a fense, stuff usually blows into our neighbors. One positive about no fense.

I think you should figure out a way to duck tape them all together and make a big sculpture or "tumbleweed ball" out of all of them! wish we had some tumbleweeds around here! miss you guys!
