ignored cicadas

I heard
cicadas today.
I've heard them for
over a week already, but I
was ignoring them.
I thought
they were early, but they are right on time according to journal
entries from previous years.
The L. L. Bean back-to-school
catalog arrived this week. Summer is going fast!
As in
past summers, I again observed the strange grasshoppers we get up here.
They make a clicking sound when they fly.
