If only it was those Beatles.
...but no, it is these Beetles!
I knew they were coming...the Japanese Beetles invasion. It was predicted to be a bad year (meaning lots of them), because we didn't have a very harsh winter. They are here now having started their Summer Tour, and have chosen for a stage... my 4th of July roses.No screaming throngs of teenagers to welcome them...just a screaming gardener.
Today's were the first of the beetles I've seen this year. I was not happy. They knew I was coming back for them when I walked away.
I guess they got a ticket to ride...because when I got back to where I spotted them, they were gone.
Do you want to know a secret?
Do you promise not to tell?
(whoa oh, oh)
?
The 'spray' comes home with me tomorrow! I'm gonna shake it up baby, and these beetles are gonna twist and shout.
