"Yep, That's what I thought it was!" YUCK!!!!!!
Oh sorry, what was that, ..... you want a closer look? OK, here you go!
Look at the googly eyes!!
Now, have a look at that tree trunk!
.... and remember the Prom pictures are being taken in this yard in 10 more days!
(Since posting this, I've had a few questions as to what they are. If you want the quick synopsis, here it is. They are the 17 year Cicadas. Yes, the very same thing happened seventeen years ago. My Dad will attest to that! While we were building the patio out back they would land on his shoulders and "scream" in his ears!! Fortunately, all they do is come out of the ground, crawl out of that shell thing and then find someone (another Cicada) to mate with. Then they die! What a life, right!)
Well, apart from making me feel a little bit grossed out and itchy, it did get me in the mood for making a "bug" card.
Now isn't this more acceptable?
OK, excuse me, I'm off to sweep thousands of carcasses from the driveway!
'Till next time,
Shona
