They are the sounds of summer here in Texas. I just love sitting outside to hear them.

Thankful it's not Locusts, they are nasty.

They are around for a few weeks and gone. Relax, they have been here a lot longer than we
have and have just as much right to be here. Cool it and enjoy the natural process of
their life cycle. Remember we do not own this planet; we only share it with all the
other life forms that have evolved here.

I just wish one or two businesses felt that way. They all seem to think that it was all put here for us. I wonder where they got that idea?

(Genesis 28)

They make crunchy little snacks

Noisy but fine.

I have severe tinnitus with three basic tones: a high-pitched whistle, a deep hum...and overlaying them all is the loud sound of cicadas. So I can never tell if I'm hearing the actual bugs or my inner chorus!
