The September Chirp

Crickets. They are out in full force, rubbing their legs together, singing sweet songs to their mates. I hear it's good luck to have them in your house. It is fun running around the yard trying to catch them, but it can be tricky hunting them down when trying to get them to hush.

Check out this crafty fellow

Food for frogs, pets for some, signs of fortune for others. Art for you?
