For the first time in many many months, it’s cooler outside than inside (and there’s a breeze!), so I’ve opened the windows. Feels good. I can hear the windchimes from the front porch. Roxy doesn’t care one way or the other (she’s happily gnawing on a new bone), so Riley and I sat out on the deck for a few minutes and communed with the crickets. What time do crickets quit? Or am I crazy for thinking they don’t do a lot of cricketing during the day? Seems like a night-time thing, but here we are, 7:15 in the morning, the sun is the up (although not shining – overcast today) and has been up for about 45 minutes, and the crickets are chirping away. And I can hear them because the windows are open!
They really do make a lot of noise.

Chirp-chirp…
Chirp-chirp…
Chirp.

I’ve heard crickets in the afternoon too…which is weird.

M, how do you do that? (Not the chirping–changing your name.)

Maybe those crickets had insomnia? And the ones I heard were partying hard and about to crash for the day.
