ul, LOL - Spring has definitely sprung! Pollen everywhere, window screens do nothing for keeping the blanket of gold pollen from hiding in every nook and cranny of the house. Stradee Hazel running from room to room armed with Swiffer Mitts! {ahchoo}

Howdy Teenie! I love the Sierras, but there are days when living by the ocean sounds so good! I miss the surf, although there are rivers and lakes nearby...a walk along the great highway Pacific shore sounds so good! Course with the damned freeway melting near the Bay Bridge, doesn't seem likely i'll be traveling to S.F. nunny to soon. yikes

Wordworker, so glad you're dropping by to say hi more often also. Never been to P.S., but a cousin of mines son, wife and kids live near the golf course, their dad who was once a rancher, traded in saddles and horses for golf gear. He raves about Palm Springs!

Enjoy the Spring weather wildclickers!

One good turn, etc.
Whether 'tis early or later, I send greetings from the desert dunes, where dawn is still two hours away.

A shout and happy wave to Merry A., ehBeth, danon, Stradee, Teeny, Ul, sumac, and all silent, and/or prodigal clickers.

Good be on all of you.

Oh, Thank you, thank you! SMOOCHES and HUGS! It's sunny, but cool here, today. I've got my container gardens working hard, my American flag lights are strung and all I need for the terrace, are some lounge chairs! Life is good! The strawberries, chives and tomatoes, are coming along in my south window, pushing up! Why chives? They look like fine, green, grass! Looking for a lemon tree! My May children, are celebrating their birthdays, on the 1st, 2nd and 21st! They're all old and I'm NOT! Now, if we could just get our troops, home, I'd be elated! I'm all clicked for the day and so glad to be back! Love to you all!

Greed kills, too! 2 grandkids, born on the SAME day, 4/29! They were 16 and 18 respectively, not to mention my other 2 kids, a son in March and daughter in July! Michelle turned 40 today! Only 1 child under 40, now! 14 grandkids and 1 great-grandson! It's a LOT of Christmas Presents, so I start shopping in July! Get it? They are as crazy as I am! We sing, dance and cry together. I'm hardly ever alone! None are perfect, but if you show me a perfect family, they must be robots! God is good!

Sending you a Maikäfer -a bug named after the month of May. You know him by the name of cockchafer. Or do you say May bug?

It was a big hallo when one of the kids found one in the school garden today.

Although these bugs are pretty, I like chocolate kind better. :wink:

Waving and clicking.

ul, both names apply - June Bug, common name for any of several beetles in the scarab family, also called June beetle. The adults are most common in June. In the northern United States, the name is applied to the numerous species that are known as May bugs in the southern United States, where they emerge earlier. The brown, stout-bodied adults are about 25 mm (about 1 in) long and feed on leaves.

Scientific classification: June bugs belong to the family Scarabaeidae of the order Coleoptera. May bugs are classified in the genus Phyllophaga. The green June beetle is classified as Cotinis nitida. European June beetles are classified in the genus Rhizotrogus.

That's the info i found on the net, although the articles may not have included all the classification names.
