The Sounds of Summer
I’m in a park near my house now. Can you hear the sounds of summer? Yes, I’m talking about cicadas. When I came back from Spain, I really noticed this sound because I hadn’t heard it before I left. I think the sounds of cicadas are the sounds of summer. Even when it’s hot, these loud insects make it feel a little bit cooler, especially when you are in the shade. Do you like the sound of cicadas? I do, and I go to a park with my dog every morning, and I hear this. I’m happy to be here, but I wish it were a little cooler.
