Every 17 years these curiously, interesting looking insects emerge in the eastern portion of the country in very large numbers. Right now, where we’re staying in Gettysburg, it’s difficult to walk outside without stepping on one. And over the past few days, I’ve seen several shows on TV showing how these creatures can be edible. One show even showed how to make cookies with Cicadas on top. Thanks but no thanks.
The other day I watched a maintenance worker mowing the lawn here at the RV Park. It was interesting that while mowing the lawn he intentionally missed mowing over a pretty little flower that appears to me to be a member of the poppy family. I took a couple of photos of these flowers. These flowers are actually the size of the fingernail on my little finger, but due to the magic of my camera, they appear much larger.
RV There Yet?
