    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.

    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!
