Cicadas: The sound of summer. Cicadas during the day… katydids at night. Lie with your windows open… hear them. They gently remind you of a different time in your life. Of a time when you rode a bike. When your mom said, “Be back before the street lights come on.” Back to those days when little girls and little boys slept together on the “sleeping porch”. Girls had cooties and boys had boogers. Bare Feet. You could stay up after the sun went down. You could giggle and poke and play in bed with flashlights. When lightning bugs did not survive the night in a jar… into the lid of which you had punched air holes.
Cicadas help me nap… and katydids still sing me to sleep.
The sounds of summer.
