Been hearing katydids in the nearby woods for several days. Tree frogs are silent tonight. Saw a tiny one trying to climb outside wall, thinking that it's a tree no doubt. Cicadas are around, but not noisy. Maybe this will be a quieter year, after their more numerous cousins had the stage here. Waxing moon is appearing spooky in tonight's sky, due to the fires out west, perhaps. Gonna be a good night for sleeping.
