As soon as I post this, cicadas start buzzing.

Had to park outside this past week. Had two pieces of firework remnants on my hood and windshield this morning and a little army guy thing on my roof.

Parachutes - the littles LOVE chasing them. Problem is, they don't always go where you intended.

Had a big mound of dirt in my back yard. Found the hole and filled it back in. Came back an hour later and something was digging it back out. Turns out it is a Cicada Killer. Those things are big and can move a lot of dirt!

Just yesterday I noticed a large hole about that size in my raised bed of cannas. I was looking for Japanese beetles (yep, they're already here) and saw it. Remembered just in time not to stomp it shut.

Got back from a night of school cleaning to find kiddo jumping off the couch making train whistle noises on her flute. She's really getting into that.

Wondering if this might be the same school that had the word "Pride" inside the cross on the back of their wrestling singlet a few years back. Had me all

Don't know why but Poky is the cheap gas capitol of NWIA but 3.04 is pretty good compared to the rest of the area.
