Sultry nights

Believe it or not the crickets are out here at night.  It's so continuously hot.  In the southern town that I was raised in, we did not have air conditioned cooling and the windows were opein and fans were on all night. The crickets were then deafening.   It was in its own way reassuring.  When the rain would eventually come it was so welcome, a time for sleep finally.

Crickets here are unusual.  Ten days of constant 90 degree heat apparently have brought them out.
