My mystery bug today was hornworms on my tomato plant.

Saw a pretty weird giant fly bug today weeding my Indian corn, was on a red noodle bean plant. Thought about killing it thinking it might be a bad garden bug, but I never saw one before so didn't kill thinking it might be a beneficial bug, IDK?!
Google search, I think it is a cicada.

Looks like a cicada. Don't know if they're beneficial to anything other than the destruction of eardrums or not.

Well I got ahold of the Dr. and he could not make heads or tails of the report.
The ultrasound said there was a mass.
The CT report said there was no mass but there was something on my lung.
Either a mass or infection or pneumonia or scaring.
He said he could not see the scans just read from the report.
He said I probably need to see someone smarter that them!
What the heck?

Sounds like what I went through with my MRI'S. They could see see the white matter. Has been there for a few years. Trying to decide for sure what it is. I hope they figure you out too!

The past few evenings, we've gotten over 2 inches of rain in less than 2 hours. I've been telling you it's rare we go a day without rain, and our ground is saturated. Here's what my yard looked like last evening, after an hour of pouring rain. BTW, several roads were flooded, and impassable this morning making it difficult to get the children to school.

This is my front yard. It's normally high, and dry, even after a heavy rain. You can see a pump in the water, and the overturned bucket to keep the socket for the extension cord out of the water.

This is my back yard. Yes, it does flood some back there after a really heavy rain, but not like this. There is a 6" pipe that runs back to the creek, so by morning the water will be all drained off.

Yep... Cicada.... we have them too though its been about twenty years or so... some are on a twenty year cycle some are on a five.... WE only got a few along the river bed. Santee is on the San Diego River... If you look at a map. and you can see its course because of the trees and bridges along it though its dry most years. Its still running though underground.

There are water marks in one canyon More than a hundred feet up....

just about three miles down stream from where I sit now.

Thanks Cynthia.
I hope they can help you.

Clue you have a very pretty place.

This is the back yard this morning. It drains fast. It woudn't have even gotten that full, if the ground was not so saturated.
