I made it home to the father land...
It was so great I forgot to snap photos of the weekend, but with the help of google images I found pretty much the same thing I saw.
Now, my dearest and nearest who's getting excited for April 10th?
When I got back to my humble NY abode look what I found.
My Prickly Pear Cactus has a whole new growth on it! I swear it wasn't there before I left. (see upper left arm) I'm feekin' pumped up about this!!!!!
