WHAT DOESN'T BELONG IN THIS PICTURE?
Leafless trees
Nippy breezes
Cardinals flitting about
Coats and mittens
Crickets
Crickets, you say? Yes! Crickets!
I swear to you -- on a stack of Bibles -- that as I was lugging my book-bag from my truck to my townhouse, I heard crickets chirping.
I have never, ever, in the history of my almost 35 years, heard crickets in January -- outside no less! Usually, the crickets that resided in my basement in Michigan didn't survive the scurge that was Maddie the Cat. When the temperatures dipped to "freeze your nose hairs" levels, the rest of the "escaped with their back legs intact" died due to inclement conditions.
This living in the south is something all-together different, that is for sure!
