Tina, do you have any prickly/thorny plants? Get some trimmings from them (I use rose canes, but anything that is thorny works) and put them...
Toni, reading the damage/flooding reports on the Dallas Morning News, I was worried about you. Sorry you didn't get more moisture, but very glad...
Gotta get me one of those! Do they come in Nascar colors?
What a handsome family (but with Dooley and DR genes, how could they miss!).
Carolyn, if anyone deserved a break from bad weather and damage, it is you! I'm so glad you and yours are safe. Fingers are crossed for your corn....

Growingpains, if you visit a local food pantry, you can understand why "giving away food" isn't as easy as it sounds. Many of the recipients are...
