Great News!

Thank you for letting me know, something told me not to get rid of it and I kept myself from taking any action. I'm glad I did. Thanks for taking the time to identify.
Mantid egg case

Well, you were thinking this might be a mantid egg case and it is. Perhaps you put Chinese mantid egg cases in your yard...they look more triangular in shape foamier looking, and larger than these. What you have here is probably the California mantid egg case which are laid in long strips about an inch or so long.
Here in the Midwest we have the Carolina and the European which lay the same type of egg mass as the California mantid. We too have the Chinese mantid that lays the triangular shaped egg mass.
These good guys will be helping you control insects this summer in your fruit and nut trees.
