I had a nice surprise today when I went to water my tomato plants: a huge cicada was hanging out on one of them.  This is the first time that I’ve ever seen one, even though I hear their electrical sounds all of the time.  I even took a short video of it right before it took off.  I really felt as if my garden was set in France, with all of the lavender and the cicada, of course.  Here’s a few pics:

Here are pix of a very cute puppy named Mazie. They were taken last December when she was still so small. She was adopted by my friends Tory and Jamie. Here is Mazie with Tory (both are so cute) visiting everyone at the Only Cafe. If you want to see more cute pictures and movies of Mazie (she has a wedding video!) then go to Jamie’s blog site link on this page.
