Gardening 101

So, I decided to pull weeds today. And then I find this "weed" that looks like a cactus to me. I found this really funny, probably nobody else will, but I'm sure cactuses (or cacti?) do not grow in the wild of Sacramento, but seriously, there it is. The next thing that occurred was traumatic. I encountered this frog and jumped out of my skin. When my heart started beating again, I realized that, of course it was plastic, and had only been positioned at my doorstep by some small child of which I have an abundance.
