Sunday Cicada Round-Up

Two weeks ago, driving through north-central Kentucky, the cicada symphony invaded our car through closed windows, loud radio and blazing air conditioner. Funny thing about cicadas, we rant and rave about the noise and the shell litter. But when they're gone, there's something I miss in the silence.
