I miss crickets! I used to sit in the driveway at my parents house and listen to them chirping away. They don't seem to be very common here in The Netherlands. Maybe I need to drive to France too hahaha!
Many years ago, we took two of the kids camping and fishing. We bought crickets to use the next day on the lake. The kids had their own tent. A horrible thunderstorm came up and the campsite was flooded, including their tent. We heard them whimpering and went to investigate. The sound of crickets was deafining! My young son had opened the container, and the crickets had gotten out, into the tent, with several inches of water! We rescued the kids, but left the crickets to fend for themselves!
That's a great C- we have to drive all the way to France to hear crickets!

ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of crickets here.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes me happy. Sort of.
I am a little creeped out by them but apparently if you have a lot of scorpions around your yard you won't find crickets.
So of the two, I'll take crickets!
Thanks for the cute link Jackie!
