This is what happens...

....when you play with cacti.


Savage Chickens are my favorite kind of chicken.  I almost trust no other any more.

And no worries...my leg is almost better.  I learned to break out the bottle of Frankincense essential oil and dab some on my war wounds.  Works like a charm. You'd never know that two days ago, my leg looked like this....only swollen and puffy and a little bit black and blue 5 hours after this photo was taken.


I know gross...but the point is....it doesn't look like that anymore!!  And the good news...no barbs or spurs inside.  Which would have drastically altered the end of this story.

And I've learned a lesson. Yucca, Agave, and Joshua and all other relatives of the cacti family, are not true friends.  They want to be kept at a distance.  I'm cool with that.

Here's to a safe distance between me and thee...cacti.

Gruesome indeed! Good to know about the frankincense! Glad you are healing up so well. I think you might try embracing nature in a little different way! Love you!!
