The cicadas are coming!

So we are supposed to be inundated with cicadas soon. For those who get all squelchy from bugs, you have my sympathy. If this happened with snakes I wouldn't leave my house for the six weeks. (Thank goodness for technology, I really wouldn't have to). I don't remember the last time the cicadas came which means it either wasn't that big of a deal or I blocked it out. I do the latter often, but I don;t think so for this. I'm going to take our buggy friends in stride and just be amazed at the whole event. And if it really sucks, well, you won't have to deal with it for another 17 years!
