Almost There

As I write this it has just recovered from a torrential downpour. It is now bright and sunny out.
At first all the hype about the cicadas was to me a bit much. However, I am beginning to see their point. It is not that there are a lot of them in one concentrated spot. Instead, they are dispersed throughout the yard. They leave no spot pure. They cover the bushes and ground, making it hard to go outside barefoot for fear of a *crunch* sound followed by a sticky resin stuck to the bottom of your foot.
