I also managed to get one stuck on the back of my pants ---and then sat on it in the truck. I sure didn't sit for long! These are not the sandspurs I grew up with. I am not sure what they are, but I know they pack a powerful, poky punch.

A Thorn in My Side---Rather, My Backside!
When school let out for the summer, I went south to see my dad and brother. We went for a ride through their citrus groves. Each tire collected thorns as we went. All of the tan material you see on this tire is thorns.

Those drive me nuts. And they hurt! Grandma has them at her house, but we don't have them here. They're just awful things, I don't know what they're called either? Goats heads?
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure they weren't around in central Florida when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteGoats heads? Well, that will work for me. It butted my butt, for sure!
