So….. it has been a long time since I blogged again. Why is that?
Because I have been busy mowing the lawn with my new mower, that’s why.
That’s my excuse, and I am sticking to it.
Anyway, after a month, the mower is still working fine. No noise; no smoke; no dust; no gas; no oil; no aggravation…. and the lawn looks as good as anybody’s.
Well, it looks as good as anybody’s lawn that is full of clover and dandelions. But it’s green.
The + SPOTH addition to this post is this latest plant, which is blooming out in the garden.
That is a Prickly Pear….. growing in our garden… and blooming….. here ….. in New England. Ya….. In New England. That certainly is strange enough to qualify for Strange Plant Of The Hour.

Prickly Pears grow in, like, Arizona, and Texas…. not in New England. But there it is… in full bloom. Talk about a green thumb!
P.S. Not my thumb. Somebody else’s thumb.
