After the heavy winter rains and equally heavy spring growth, we have a great crop of tumbleweeds ready to let loose and start tumbling. I had one nearly come through my car window yesterday. It flew over me and stuck in the grill of the car behind me. There are harvesters around cutting large fields of dried growth in an effort to reduce this summers wild fires.
