Good morning Bob, Sue and Marie!

We're in for a chilly day here with a high in the 40's and tonight's low in the 20's. It's too early for this (it's always too early for this :gig )

Good morning Debby 😊 have a lovely day and try to stay warm.

Are the beetles you mentioned the Japanese beetle? I just had a look around to see what creatures eat them, there are quite a few. But the problem is the things burrow into the ground :(.

I do hope America finds a much safer way of clearing the forest and woodland areas, especially when the weather is extremely hot and dry.
