Ahh, I actually hear the sound of crickets. Because I’m sitting here, downstairs at my computer, doors and windows open to let in the cool, comfortable evening air. No one else is in the room. No one else is even downstairs.
Chirp, chirp. So peaceful.
Don’t get me wrong. I really enjoyed all our company over the last few weeks here. But….wow, that was a lot of people coming through this house. A lot of cooking, and eating, and drinking, and socializing. A lot of staying up too late, and falling behind on things. A lot of noise-and-busy, which wears me out. (We even had two toddlers here at one point. Oh my goodness, is this house not toddler-proof!)
Chirp, chirp, chirp.
Lovely.
In other buggish news, a ladybug came in and wanted to read my manuscript, but I had to tell her it’s not ready for review yet.
And the other day, we found a katydid walking across the top of the aquarium.
The fish were very interested.
Good thing the aquarium has a lid. Ms. Bug could have carried off handfuls of those fish, had she been so inclined.
