And spiders were everywhere because the birds were all engorged with cicadas and didn't bother with spiders. Ugh. When Jake explained to me that millions of cockroach-type flying bugs were coming out of the ground after 17 years and that they'd be everywhere, I thought he was just trying to scare me--it sounded like my worst nightmare!

Ryan was especially impressed as he loves some golf tournament on TV when you can hear the loud cicadas. . . anyway, as far as eating them goes, in seminary one year, my teacher fried up some grasshoppers, we were learning about eating "locusts and wild honey." Well, guess who ate one--yep. And it tasted like a pumpkin seed, so maybe cicadas do taste like almonds.Darciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502026682982798435noreply@blogger.com
