I'm with you. Here in the mid-Atlantic, the cicadas are out and the noise is deafening from them (especially if you are under a tree with them). WIth no cars, trains, trucks, or aircraft, WV can let you hear the rest of the world. I love hearing owls at night, or the keeeeerr of a hawk during the day. The periodic cicadas have different tunes, if you pay attention.
