Saturday Morning at 4:48am
It's 4:48am in California. But I'm in New Jersey. Where it's 7:48am. None of the usual tea and toast. In my daughter's first apartment. Listening to the sounds of a New Jersey morning. It's louder here. And I don't mean manmade noise. There are crickets and cicadas creaking away. At least I'm going to say that's what they are. We don't have loud bugs in Northern California so I have no expertise in bug acoustics.
I also hear thunder. One never forgets the sound of thunder.

No loud bugs in California? I'm moving there then ;)
I miss the upper east coast. *sigh* Enjoy your stay.
I love the sound of crickets and cicadas. But thunder's even better.
Enjoy!
the bugs are stink bugs which were put here by the govt to take care of agricultural issues and are loud and a pain in the you know where
How funny. My daughter was screaming that a stink bug flew in the car yesterday and I thought she was just having some drama. Ooops.
I loved reading this post.... "Bug acoustics" - I thought that was such a fantastic way to put it... As I sit here typing this, I can hear the bugs outside *over* the clothes dryer (which is on, just a few feet away from me). These are some powerful bugs I'm dealing with in the South. Sigh. California sounds like a dream. No humidity and no bugs... Yes, I think we may have to consider moving there some day.
