Today I have a 3 fer for y'all all in one!!
Dear Auntie HiC,
Do you have cicadas where you live?
Our woods in north Georgia are full of emerging cicadas.

While some might find the “buzzing” eerie, deafening, or even annoying, I purr-sonally consider the cicada sound purr-fectly relaxing, calming & soothing.

Join me for a nap!

Auntie HiC wrote a bit of info in Acrostic poem using the letters of Cicadas

Cali thanks for the great informative post
Auntie HiC likes their red eyes
Did you know they've been in literature since Homer's Iliad
Avast majority are active during the day as adults with some calling at dawn or dusk. Only a rare few species are known to be nocturnal
Dearest Niece Cali you do have a sleeping beauty buzzz
As hot as it is above ground, the are gonna be shocked when they leave their cool homes under the earth,
What an orchestra they have too.
Lovingly Auntie HiC
That was cute to see the opened wide eyes and then they fell closed again...sweet kitty!

ReplyDeleteI miss the sound of cicadas from OZ. Or even the crickets. Nothing like that in the UK. A fun informative post! YAM xx
Love your poem and we haven't heard any cicadas this summer yet.
ReplyDeleteI think we have cicadas here in MN but they are not a big deal. They look ugly. We would not even know what their sound is. Mainly we hear frogs by ponds.
ReplyDeleteDear Cali, it's a little too soon up north here for our cicadas to be awake yet. We usually get them towards the end of July and then it's 6 weeks till Frost you know. The slower they come out the longer we can have warm weather.
ReplyDeleteWe have them at times. Not sure if I've heard any this year. Cali you are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we have cicadas around her or not. We may but I have never seen one.
ReplyDeleteLoved that video. I was not expecting your eyes to open at the end.
Love your Acrostic poems. We have just the right amount of cicada chorus just in time for wine time on the lanai. I do remember we had a periodical emergence of some kind on The Tiny Ten and they creeped me out even though I find them fascinating.
ReplyDeleteThe sweetest little Cali Fuzz Face.
Cali, that was some serious snoozing!
ReplyDeleteCicadas make me shudder to look at them, but I don't mind their buzzing. Usually they come out in August here, July if it's been really hot.
The buzz of the Cicada takes me back to my childhood :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are looking mighty cute and sleepy today, Cali!
xoxo,
Mama Beth, Rosy & Sunny
there loud sounds make me crazy, worse than a cricket in the house. I hope they don't come to Florida.... I love the video and the bright eyes popping open made me laugh. so sweet. now I wonder if there is a quote that says Let sleeping cats Lie. that is what I say to Bob when he wakes Beau up. ha ha, dogs not cat
ReplyDeleteThat is a cute video. You sensed that camera was getting too close, Cali. I have never heard cicadas as far as I know, but possibly when we have been abroad on holiday. When we were in Spain once, the tops of the trees were level with our window and there was a lot of something in amongst the leaves making a right racket.
ReplyDeleteYou are so cute napping there, Cali. It's too bad the camera person disturbed your slumber. We don't have any cicadas here this year, at least not yet.
ReplyDeleteSweet kitty napping photo ~ great info about cicadas ~ hugs
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Cecilia and Angel Madi ~ xo,
