Cicadas!
The 17 year cicadas are finally hatching all over the place. There’s tons of them in our neighborhood. When I was out walking today I saw this one crawling on the sidewalk. On a nearby tree there were tons of those empty shells they crawl out of. I guess we’ll be seeing this for a few weeks. They are called Brood 10.
Mother’s Day
Missing my mom today on the first Mother’s Day since her death. We went out to brunch today with the in-laws for Mother’s Day. We had a toast to my mom at dinner. The food was delicious and we had a good time.
Dinner
My husband’s parents are in town. We invited our good friends over for dinner and to visit with them. We had a great time catching up and enjoying food and wine together. It was nice to have our friends over and to have the in-laws in town.
