We went on a hike with my sister and her husband to celebrate the New Year. Bryan and I really enjoy hikes in the desert and we go quite often. I love the cactus, I think that it's beautiful! Whenever I see jumping cactus, it reminds me of my Mother and a story from my childhood...
One time my entire family went out to the desert for a hike. On the way back, my Mom had a bet with my Dad that she could pick one little needle out of the jumping cactus without the rest of it jumping on her. I can remember watching as she reached for the needle and pulled. Sure enough a huge piece of the cactus jumped off and landed on my Mom's hand. I will never forget this story!
