I forgot to mention crickets in my most recent post. We have a large dirt pile left over from garage construction. It's awaiting our next project: landscaping the back yard. This summer, a colony of crickets took up residence in the weeds that are growing there. They sing all day and all night. We think it's charming.
A month or so ago Carol found a cricket in the basement. He wasn't feeling too well we think and wasn't singing. A few days ago when I retrieved the newspaper from the front porch and unfolded it there was a cricket resting inside. I released him in the back yard. Finally, last night another one was hanging out on the stairs to the basement and singing away. I caught him in a cup and put him back outside where he belongs.
We also seem to get a lot of spiders in the house this time of year. I noticed that early last fall, too. They must seek warmth when the nights get cooler.
