Yes, we still can't go out and enjoy the pond or anything else for that matter. Its hot, humid and suppose to be 97 here and that's with out the heat index. Bit the bullet and dh and boys decided to team up and cut the grass and trim.
I'm sitting on the front porch, and was going to go and dig some more on a hole for the prefrom (freebie) for a tropical lilie or two. While walking threw, the Cicada's were flying every where around the weedeater. We'll while walking they swarmed me, dh told me to come inside. When I got inside, I had them in my hair, down my shirt, in my bra.....
I ran back out side, with my bra pinched in my hand. I swear I was in the process of taking my shirt off, trying to keep a grasp on my bra. I wanted that thing out of there. I finally managed to get it out and keep my shirt on. Shook my head and came back inside. Sat down on the couch, and faintly heard something buzzing. I thought one had came in, and was behind the couch. Then I felt it, it was inside my shirt on my back. I started hollaring get it off of me, get it off of me. My daughter about in tears said MOM, its on your back. I said I know, knock it off. She wouldn't get near it. She went and got one of her brothers, he picked it up by its wings and took it outside.
I don't get freaked out by much, but having a half dozen of them down your shirt, one in your bra. In your hair all at the same time. I believe I was freaking. I still feel like their crawling on me. So glad they don't bite or sting.
I decided to go and dosome more reading on them. I saw a paragraph where it said, that they hear the sound of the lawnmower or weedeater and thinks its a big mating call...LOL, that's why they fly to it. Think I will stay inside until they are done with the grass.
All I know is its about to make me loose my mind. I'm so tired of it
, bright side dh said he will finish digging the hole.
