May - Week 03

My goodness, May is just moving right along!!! In the last week the cicadas have started to arrived. It is still pretty quiet here but the temperature is supposed to be pretty high this weekend so I would imagine it is going to get noisy. We are smack dab in the middle of the area where the two different broods will emerge - both the 13 and 17 year cicadas!!! To make matters even worse, not only do we have trees in our yard, but we have a wooded state park on 2 sides of the house. I do rememeber the noise the last time the cicadas were here and that was only a single brood. Yesterday there were so many crawling up one of the trees it looked like the bark was pulsating!!! Gross. The other thing of importance were the northern lights this week. That has always been on my bucket list so I spent 2 nights on the lookout. I didn't see the amazing celestial display that others saw in the area, but I do think I saw some of them. . .at times there was a pink "haze" to the sky or a blueish-green "haze". Oh well. Other than those things, it has been a quiet week. I did start working on some of the scrapbooks for gifts later in the year so yeah!!! Having said that, it has been a rather slow week scrapbooking and I have a single layout to share with you so here goes. . .
