Awww……the sweet sound of the Thirteen-year Cicadas, or NOT! These bugs are driving me crazy. Being outside during the daytime is just painful to the ears. No more walks on the Capen Park trail after work until they are gone. I realize they will only be around for a few weeks, but the noise is bad. The cicadas also fly and land on everything. I’ve taken to exercising outdoors at 4:30 am because cicadas tend to settle down and quiet down during he nighttime hours. You can still here a few of them, but it’s not the steady noise that you get throughout the day. Yesterday, the kids went to the sprayground with daycare and only stayed about 20 minutes. The cicadas were scaring Laura and Cheryl said that they were flying around so much that all the kids were very uncomfortable. I’m looking forward to the end of this year’s cicadas so we can get back to normal!
