    Now I always think of you when I see cotton. There were cotton fields along the way here.

    At first I thought it was a kitten curled up in a ball. Nope. Great picture. Thanks for stopping by.

    I grew up in a cotton valley – I’m not sure why I never thought of this! I love it! Now, I’m going to have track some down that I live in the metroplex!

    Unique idea! It always fascinates me when I see cotton drifting around the road like snow on the drive down to SC.

    Terry has a framed thing that has the 7 stages of cotton on the wall, it’s pretty cool! Great idea!
