I've been knee deep in a cotton project the past couple of days.
Did you know cotton is is grown in 17 states in the USA with Texas being the largest producer? Me neither. And did you know we can eat, wear and feed our animals with cotton products? Me neither. Seriously, we wear cotton, eat snack crackers with cotton oil in them and feed our animals products with crushed cotton seed hulls in them.
Do you care about all this? Me neither.
However, the display board Brooke painted is a jammin' shade of hot pink with lime green accents. But we won't talk about how the paint made the board curve and is now refusing to stand up properly.
No, we won't talk about that because it's little things like that make me want to rush to the bathroom and furiously pluck grey hairs out of my head.
So, I have three questions today:
1. Do you happen to live near a state with blooming cotton buds right now? Somehow, I am thinking no since it takes 25 weeks to go from seed to cotton and growing season doesn't start at the earliest until February.
But maybe, someone else has done a cotton project and has a few samples of cotton in the bloom complete with seeds? If so, please let me know.
2. Also, can you check your pantry and see if you have any snack crackers or cookies that have cotton seed oil in them? Though our research says this, I can't for the life of me find which ones. Maybe it's because they call it something like: monosudotanziocramiophylinguisticsodiumate. I totally made that up. So don't go looking for that hard word on your snack packages. Just cotton seed oil- anyone?
3. On a completely different note, educate me today on how you keep your e-mails organized. I have fallen and I can't get up. I will feature your wisdom on an upcoming post.
Happy Wednesday friends...
