Here in northern Nevada we put out food for them, then sit back and watch them roll through the front yard. Occasionally one’ll get caught in the fence and I have to free it. I have started naming the larger ones. They seem friendly, but I’m not sure…
Tumbleweeds are a Russian plot – the seeds were imported with wheat seeds from Russia. So they are a fairly recent arrival in America. It’s not likely that most of the “old west” had them until close to the 20th century.

See them tumbling down,
Stealing our socks so they won’t be found,
Lonely, but free, I’ll be found,
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
