Despite their fearsome appearance, cactus are really quite friendly, in today's parlance, they are seriously mis-understood. Running bare foot through the summer grass, loses its appeal in the desert. Grass is not soft and the other plants are highly protective of their space. Contrary to what you would think, despite the stickers and prickers, we mostly went barefoot all summer. As a matter of fact, except for work and church, I mostly still do. But, we were also very careful what we stepped on, because unless you have experienced being stuck by a cactus, I don't think you can imagine how painful it really is.
