cicadas

Because I am nothing if not nerdy, I was looking so forward to the emergence of the 17 year cicadas this year. Growing up in Indiana I have fond memories of deafening cicadas during summer evenings. But I think I missed it this year. Or Charlotte missed it. I still hear one or two at night but nothing like the Biblical proportions I was secretly hoping for. So please, I need to know did you get a bunch of cicadas in your yard? Was it awesome?!

Mark your calendars. August 6. Click here to watch the video if it’s not playing here.
