Yea - no cicadas

It is so nice and quiet here as compared to back at the Martin Manor.  When we left home the 13-17 year variety were at their peak and our trees and bushes around the house were just swarming with the red eyed noisy bugs.  A Columbia ice cream store made one batch of cicada ice cream with cooked and chopped up bugs that sold out the same day they put it on the market.  The local health agency put a stop to the second batch.

We drove through rain showers most of the morning but that didn't cause any problems.  With all the rains of this spring the scenery is very nice and green and Jo even saw a couple of deer along the way.  The current temperature here in Port Huron, MI is 66° so no air conditioning required and we will probably need the heat pump overnight, very nice. Tomorrow morning we cross into Ontario Canada on our way to Niagara Falls.
