Cricket

by Ruth

When I was home this summer, I thought about how nice it was to listen to the symphony of crickets as I fell asleep at night. It was such a summer-in-the-south, woodsy,country sort of sound. Well, the past few nights we've had a cricket take up residence on the laundry porch next to our bedroom and start it's own little little symphony. It's not quite the same.

Moral #1: Some things which are beautiful from a far are annoying up close.
Moral #2: Just because you sound fine singing in a group doesn't mean you should try it alone.

How true, how true! We sometimes get a cricket in the house and it is quite annoying. They are definitely a group critter.

I love your #2 ... wait, that sounds like I like your, you know, number 2. Allow me to restate: I like your Moral #2. :)
