Worm Up

Thanks to all of this wet stuff we've been getting for the past several days...



about a dozen of these inch worms have crawled out of the very soggy landscaping beds and up onto our front porch. It's a somewhat icky and wriggly price to pay for several inches of glorious precipitation since our water bill for last month - trying to keep our 24 pallets of sod and 85 new landscaping plants alive with no measurable rain for over three weeks - was a blow to the bank account.




Then there are these kinda scary things, cicada shells that I've spied hanging on the fence, iris stalks, tree bark and this random one laid out on the front porch. Every night, it's a cicada symphony around our house. I don't know about the rest of the US, but I've always considered it a distinctly southern summer thing.
