Summer of Cicadas

Brood X. The 17-year cicadas that have been anticipated since 2004, which was the first summer that Dani and Jared were married and living for the summer in Cincinnati. We had memories of that summer and cicadas all over the place, so we anticipated a noisy summer full of cicadas everywhere.

In the end, there were not many in our yard or really in the area around us. We did go on a Sunday afternoon cicada walk looking for them, and we found some in the Winds. Kate was grossed out every time she saw an exoskeleton.

One of the places we saw a lot was at Blue Ash Nature Center, where Claire had a senior party with her friend Veronica.
