...And we have an Ladybug invasion.
Hopefully not like our ant invasion last year...

It would definitely be a lot cuter though...

Well... then again...

Maybe cute is in the eye of the beholder...?

I hear you. Two years ago, when we made holidays in the Provence , they had a cicada plague. They was so loud , you could not sit outside in the restaurant. They was so loud, you could not understand you own words.
But they are cute , when they are not in a huge crowd :D

Behold the mighty Golden Cicada Asmurak!

0780BA1D-8C1B-4CB9-9A09-11A649C44737.jpeg


Okay, it’s not the actual mighty Golden Cicada of Asmurak...
Actually, there is no mighty Golden Cicada of Asmurak, it’s really more of a very large yellow Rumpnibbler grub made out of discarded mufflers and hudcaps at the rest stop on Asmurak 7...
Sorta like those ”Muffler-Men” you see outside auto repair shops.
But it does looks like it a little...
If it had sharper mandibles, more claws, more mandibles, sharper claws, was painted a putrid mustard yellow and was made entirely out of garbage... and wasn’t a few centimeters tall... it would be spot on...
Sort of...
Technically, The Golden Rumpnibbler is one of the 8 wonders of Asmurak 7... but considering the number one wonder of Asmurak 7 is the longest burning dumpster fire in the outer rim worlds, that’s not such a high honor.
But I suppose not everyone can live on a world free of Rumpnibblers.
And, yes... Rumpnibblers do what they sound like they are named for doing...
Definitely wear sturdy pants if you stop there.
Don‘t stop there.
And since the above has nothing to do with weather, I now feel obligated to say something related to the weather in the part of earth I live on...

Its very nice outside today... sunny and around 68°F/20°C...

Yeah... that was anticlimactic...

Very nice weather here as well. Was in the high 60s, and I only had to wear a light weight linen blazer when I was out.

Very pleasant for this time of year, but I keep getting this feeling the rest of the winter is going to be frigid. ~brrrrr~

Yesterday was very warm.
I still have my little Orange tree outside and it still bloom and produce little oranges :D

We have also Mantis all over in the garden. Ladybugs, wasp's :oops: and so many ticks. My poor dog, even with the anti tick vaccine, I removed 4 from his fur yesterday.

The sundown those days are spectacular.

We get them in August usually... last year it was just that one big one...

They make it hard to drive when they do that... and the constant trying to eat you is really annoying too.

It must be something in the water...

Should it glow green at night?

Its probably nothing...


Oh, and to keep it weather related... It’s nice and warm and sunny here... 67°F/19°C... a little bit hazy when you look to distant objects.

You are in Italy... Correct?
When I was a kid I used to visit my father in Sorrento... my father’s house was on the side of the mountain facing Naples and Vesuvius... The view across the bay was spectacular and there would be so many interesting weather events and cloud formations.
Too bad digital photography was still thirty years away.

No, I live in France. Département Centre-Val-Loire.
Italy is amazing. My Mama was from Italy/Sardegna . My former husband ( he die ) was from Peschiera . We want to move there ,but unfortunately he died 1 Months before we move. This country is amazingly beautiful and the Italien are awesome.
I never returned there , sold the house (where we never could move in) and never looked back. But still admire this country, his culture and people.


Yesterday morning we had rain, afternoon warm and beautiful. My Hydrogénas are blooming again...:oops:

cicadas....

we get cicadas

lots of cicadas

and they all sing a terrible tune :oops:
Cicadas creep me out...my mother in law used to get them in her backyard.

Typical Melbourne spring...one minute it's beautiful weather the next it's raining. Today it's overcast...and we had a small amount of rain today already and it's just past 9am.

Here we had the first decent day since Monday, with no rain, and a bright sun. Tomorrow is supposed to be a little warmer, but they're predicting gale force winds again. ~sheesh~

But my dog Maiko decide to ignore me.
After he rescue my live from my neighbors chicken who begin to revolt in their chicken crop (we never know if they don't plot any revolution, at last we are here in France) , scare away a few pignon , who, maybe plan my assassination, scare the hell out of one of my neighbor while she go to her car( she is anyway always suspicious ) .....I still remain ungrateful to him . In short ,i grounded him inside the house :whistling:

Well, the sun was out this morning, but then it got cloudy. No rain, but we've got gale force winds of up to 25 mph again tonight :(.

Fun times... tornado warning for the next hour for my county... Crazy rain and wind outside and more on the way.
Bad time to fly my new kite I suppose.
Beautiful morning though...

Well, I have to go back in the basement now because I’m being yelled at...
Big turnaround... normally I get yelled at to come out of the basement.

So, apparently the tornado alert was a real crapfest... The storm front already passed.
The really bad weather we were experiencing was the actual storm front that carried the tornado risk... our cable service is supposed to interrupt service with a warning if a tornado alert is issued...
They waited until the front was actually well into the county (on top of us) before they interrupted with the alert so basically... “Hey, that sound outside may be a tornado... um... good luck...” and on top of that the alert only showed up on one of the TVs... WTF?
So right when it was the worst, I was outside securing a glass table without knowing... also pissed my phone didn’t give a warning either... Someone screwed up... again... (failed to call a huge storm last summer which caused a lot of damage “out of the blue”...
