Cottonwood Joe

This is what our backyard looked like when we got up this morning.


It's in the rocks,



it's on the sidewalk,



it's in the grass,



it's even on the pool (thank goodness we are still trying to warm up the water).



It is all coming from here. Our neighbors cottonwood tree. What a mess. I tried to get the kids to pick it up, but even they wouldn't touch it. It is really soft, but hard to get. I'm sure pioneeer women collected it to weave or something. Not me.



It's even on the dog!
