We used to live in southern California, and your pictures are very familiar to me. That happened to us many times. If you aren't aware, they burn very easily.

I lived in New Mexico as a child and would give anything to have a nice tumble weed. Send one my way?

Recently talked with my sister in Garden City and she had a swimming pool full of tumble weeds. Reminds me of my childhood. Great memories, but lots of work to remove them.

I'm sure that was a pain to come home to, but I've never seen a tumbleweed except in old cowboy movies, so this picture is really interesting!
