Little did we know when we purchased this property, we got 10 acres of little cactus because it had been shredded. Late this afternoon I decided it would be good to continue my life’s work of digging it up. Well, not really “good,” it’s just because it rained and the ground is a lot easier to dig. I’ve managed to clear about 6 acres since 2008. It’s not quite as overwhelming as it once was. That endeavor kind of threw my cooking schedule off so I’m thinking a slow cooker meal would be good.
