They creep me out a little too. Especially when you startle one and their wings make a sound just like a scream. Yikes. <br /><br />PS Purple is my favorite color too.

We lost power for a while last night too. There is an awful lot of damage in and around Clarksville. Some streets have houses that every single house that had a tree lost the tree or part of it. No damage here but more tornadoes and severe weather due tonight. Spring weather gone wild today this year.

I do not know if I would have if I had never heard them before. Most likely Tina is a bit behind you but I know 1 year they were there in the middle of August when I was there. Never having even hear of them, let alone hearing or seeing them I found them very interesting and fascinatingJean Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135474696468199060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-36551293529051348272011-04-26T09:58:34.862-05:002011-04-26T09:58:34.862-05:00It’s a very rainy Spring day so I thought it would...It’s a very rainy Spring day so I thought it would be a good time to check in on you and the other Blogs I follow. Can not be out in the dirt so I am here at the computer. Seeing your Cicada, make me HOT. Well not really but we only get those things when it is really really hot up here on the lake. When one hears them, you know it is a hot day on Lake Michigan.

I don't mind looking at bugs but they creep me out when they crawl on me. I hear them but haven't seen any yet.
