I am a tumbleweed
Humble beginnings I have
Started out small
But now, look at me become bigger, especially when I roll.
Rely on Father Wind we all
Always there to catch us, too, when we fall
Been high and seen waving flags and old bones
Even crossed the highway with the rolling stones.
We are just a quiet bunch
Been called names
Thinking all was just a hunch
Some say best to avoid us,
For a limb we could maim.
Known more to cause scrapes and pricks
Which I think what keep us stick
And so I don’t blame him when we’ve been found
Then get thrown out bin bound.
Tumbleweed found in our back garden
** Been so windy lately that tumbleweeds abound.

They can do some damage when not being careful in handling. My husband had thick gloves on and still got pricked. Tsk tsk

I didn’t think I’d have a post today. Tired and everyone at home’s sick. So when this tumbleweed came rolling into my car.. It’s gotta be this. How are you doin? How’s your back? You didn’t do any more tumbling down the stairs, did you? (Knock on wood)

My self-inflicted ailments are on the mend at last – can even put my own socks on one more…my only complaint in life presently is this wretched English weather. Travelled just 20 odd miles across the Channel yesterday to France and was sitting outside a café in the sun taking coffee…returned to England early evening and the wind was blowing; the rain was falling. Where I ask is the fairness in that?

If you pull them while they’re babies, they never go to seed. They’re way easier to pull when they’re under 4 inches.

I did not know that. These ‘giants’ (we had three!) were brought in by the winds into our garden. But thanks for letting me know. They’re so common in the high desert.
