I was surfing Facebook today, and came across this photo one of my clients took – They are getting married later this year in Texas (where else of course).

Why trust a bank, when you have a safe place at home to store your valuables!

pictures of cicadas - close up

Cicadas – a big green bug!

by Garage on 24 July, 2009

Yesterday morning, I was pulling a few weeds in my garden, and looked over to see a cicada sitting on my basil. I guess they like pesto, too.

These are medium sized bugs that make a lot of noise at night – a sort of buzzing. They are not crickets, nor are they locust. And they are not harmful at all to humans.

Molting Cicadas leave behind a brown shell (exoskeleton) that is ripped in half right down the back. This is how they bust out of their old shell and grow larger. I’ve found them all over the side of my house, and when I do, I just brush them off – no big deal.

If you look carefully at the side of these noisy bugs, you can see the timbals – they are the silvery, grey, things under the wings. This is what makes all the noise.
