Hiya, mates!
How are you holding up … in nature? The cicadas have arrived in Nashville to make every little thing bizarre. After hibernating for the previous 13 years—plotting—they’re now darting round in search of mates. Their screaming is fixed and there are Biblical swarms of them to duck from as you go about your every day duties, like taking a stroll or opening your automotive door. Some neighborhood children paint the shells with nail polish so each now and again I’ll swat away a cicada donning a lavender shell. And there’s a home made poster within the college hallway to Save the Cicadas. Everybody wants a trigger!
Beneath are some enjoyable finds to your buggy weekend.
