Captures it all well–I have a kind of love/hate with cicadas…
Thanks! I found their shells quite repelling and had to find a way to understand why they’re in my yard. Thank you for visiting!
In number one, I like the idea of a safe haven for echoes.
Interesting that you are a community planner. I am city planner that now works in real estate development for a government entity. Curious work at times for creative minded folk.
D
I thought you might be a planner, given your insightful writing on urban ironies. It is curious work indeed. I do a lot of mediation and faciitation as a consultant for private and public developers. If only people knew what was going through my mind while I’m trying to get things to flow . . . Thanks for visiting!
Eww! Bugs! *shudder* LOL
Those cicadas – I never heard of them until I moved here and now that sound just makes it feel so much hotter to me. They puncture IL heat too! LOL Great line!
They’re kinda like crickets on steroids or from outer space. After they shed, they get huge. Plus, Richard says they start off as grubs. Ewwww is right!
