The cacti were participating in the "Pink Lady" theme!

Every year, the female descendents of Miss Mamie Lou Fowler celebrate her spirit with a Pink Lady party. Pink was Mamie's favorite color. She only wore pants once in her life, near as anyone can tell. That was on a short fishing trip, which nobody believes she enjoyed very much. If there was an article of clothing or bedding within 100 yards of Mamie, it was only a matter of time before it was ironed and folded. When asked how she made her amazing biscuits, she'd reply with an answer like, "Let it bake in the wood-fired stove for as long as it takes to sweep the porch." :)
