I Love Bamboo!

I'm not sure how many of you that see this have ever seen bamboo grow. But it is truly one of the most amazing things that i've ever seen. It pops out of the ground sort of conical shaped and proceeds to grow about 5 inches a day, some more some less. This one that Abigail is so lovingly hugging was only a couple of inches tall less than a week ago.

Funny thing about this picture is that she bent down and hugged the bamboo and looked at me and said, "Cheese!" She really wanted her photo with the bamboo. It's been fun for us to go down there each day and check out the progress. It'll be full grown and loose its husk and look like the big ones around it in a month or so. Amazing!
