Cicadas, Katydids and Crickets... oh my!



You know you're in the "dog days" of summer when the cicadas/katydids, start to sing! I'm not sure which ones they are actually, it's either/or... or both but I think they're cicadas as the sounds come from the trees not the ground area. They and the crickets cause a cacophony on my street in August. I love sitting on the porch and listening to them. It's funny as I just asked Patty a week or so ago if she'd heard any yet. Now you hear nothing but. I can actually hear them through the closed windows, here, in the computer room.

I'm just glad I don't live in the places where gazillions of them hatch all at once! Too much of a good thing is just too much! (Except wine, peanutbutter squares and pasta thingys on a toothpick, can't have too much of them!)
