I spotted my first Cicada yesterday in Cleveland Park but apparently it is only a “straggler”. USAToday reported in March:

“As spring approaches, many Americans may be expecting the return of loud, swarming cicadas, but experts say there’s little to worry about this year. No major 13‑ or 17‑year cicada broods are set to emerge nationwide, though a small number of insects emerging in off years, known as stragglers, may still be buzzing about.” (more…)


Event

The Triumph Trek at the Rio is the ultimate celebration of strength, recovery and hope — and everyone is invited.

On Sunday, September 20, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Adventist HealthCare Rehabilitation and Adventist HealthCare Home Care Services will gather at Rio Lakefront in Gaithersburg for an untimed walk-or-wheel around the accessible lakeside path. This is not a race. Scooters, wheelchairs, walkers, strollers and every pace are welcome, and no one finishes last.
