This Is Why I'm Spending All My Time Inside...

We're having a double-barreled combination of record breaking high temperatures and a massive cicada invasion.

(Make sure you turn up the volume so you can appreciate what we've been hearing for the last few days!)

  1. OMG those are ugly....and noisy too. I think I better get my work finished here in Illinois...because they'll probably be on their way up here soon enough. Summer never has been my favorite season. I know people love summer...but I must be an alien...I just can't seem to get into it. Maybe it's the bugs and the heat. It's 95 today...unusually hot for this time of year. Hey...I heard Missouri had a light earthquake last night. Did you feel it? I think a 4.5 on the scale.
    Hope you're finding fun things to do indoors. Sorry about the ugly bugs.

  3. When I lived on Long Island, NY we would get cicadas but not that bad! Wow, hope that doesn't happen every year.

    If you get a chance, stop by my blog tomorrow (wednesday) I'm having a blog hop for just us boomers.

  6. The 13 yr bunch has started coming out in Clarksville too. I actually kind of like them. We have the "dog days" cicada that come out every year in late summer too. But they are a lot quieter (relatively speaking) than the 13 year screamers. LOL

  7. Oh my goodness, my heart goes out to you. These bugs are so noisy! Do they also eat up the plants and leaves? Hopefully they'll all move on soon... or die!
