I just heard my first cicada warming up while I was out feeding my ravenous birds. And it is supposed to be 60 some degrees today. Does this mean spring is here?? Maybe if I wear some jaunty summer outfit, my dreams will come true. Or I will freeze :)

This picture is of a massive cicada from last summer... they are amazingly large and loud, but definitely are the sound of summer.

I think I may have a mating pair of cardinals!!

  1. I thought cicadas only came out of the ground every 10 years or so?

  2. I did too.. but maybe it is staggered so some are coming out every year, ya know? Or maybe every 10 years a lot come out? I have no idea. I am still new at this southern living thing!
