 It seems to be the time of year, or decade or whatever, for these guys. This is a Cicada - a big 'ole insect that lays its eggs in the ground and when the larva hatch out (every 17 years on a large scale), they hit the trees and make big time noise huntin' for some lovin'. And the noise is very distinctive and loud. I, for one, love it. I lot that sound. I grew up hearing that sound in the Summers. Some must hatch out every year because I don't remember ever not hearing them. I've said before, and I'll say it again, that I can't imagine living somewhere where I can't hear that sound. I would have recorded it for you in the back yard but I didn't want to go through all that to get a Cicada noise on my blog. You can do a Google search and find plenty.It's hot here in Kentucky today, for the last few days - in the 90's - not common for early June here really. Too hot for me. I could honestly be satisfied if it never got above 75 or 80 degrees (Farenheit). So, inside in the air conditioning, yep. I'll end with this: I found out today that my Uncle Dave died last night. He was David Earl Creech, my Dad's older brother, only by 2 or 3 years. I think he was 74(?). He's been relatively sick for several years and has had lots of health problems off and on for a long time. He apparently died in his sleep, so that's a slightly positive slant. I'll likely be headed to Glasgow tomorrow for a memorial service (Kentucky, not Scotland). If you think about it, please pray for his wife, for his children, my cousins, the whole family - and for those who are turned toward such a thing, for him.

three quotes |:: "Then, if we cannot as yet think alike in all things, at least we may love alike. Herein we cannot possibly do amiss." "Keep your eyes on the crucifix, for Jesus without the cross
is a man without a mission, and the cross without Jesus
is a burden without a reliever." "...I am deeply convinced that the Christian leader of the future is called to be
completely irrelevant and to stand in this world with nothing to offer but his or her own vulnerable self."
