More on my camping trip
My camping buddy decided to dig up a small century plant. It was near a cactus and he didn't think that the cactus would get him. It did. If any of you are thinking about digging near a cactus, jeans are not enough protection. Don't do it.
I didn't see any deer or wild hogs this time. There were deer around, but I have trouble being quiet enough so that I don't scare them away. I did see an armadillo a couple of times and a snake.
Then we went for a ride in the go-cart in the hill country. We ran out of gas. He had to push till we got back to the down hill part and could roll part of the way back.Oh and I'm still keeping my weight down and working on losing a little more. We had a lot of food and someone brought brownies with chocolate chips in them. I was not able to resist that.

I have always wanted to see an armadillo! The snake, I could do without.
What's a century plant?? It sounds old. Or maybe it gets old..?
janet, we don't have them all over the place, but maybe someday you will get to come to Texas and see and armadillo.
pam - They say it blooms every century, but I think it blooms a little more often than that. It's real purpose is to lure people into backing into cactus ;-)
This information will be filed under "why I don't garden" and cross-referenced to "why I don't go camping."
;-)
Pam, you can garden and go camping, I heard that duct tape works for pulling out the cactus stickers.
