Tumbleweed is a name used for a number of species from the genus Salsola (Family Amaranthaceae). Tumbleweeds break away from their roots in the autumn, and are driven by the wind, as a light, rolling mass, over fields and prairies, scattering seed far and wide. Prairie tumbleweed produces its seeds in such profusion that the plant doesn't bother with protective coatings or food reserves for the coiled plant embryos.

I'm getting the sense that you're comparing tumbleweed to yourself. Do you know where you're moving?
We're not moving anywhere. Tumbleweed is an old nickname given to me by some long-time friends not from Columbus.
Oh OK. For a second I thought you were moving to Houston Texas.
OH my Angie,
tendencies are reliable from time to time, especially when hope of change seems so distant.
