Peepers

We've had a few warm days in a row, 50's, during the day. I'm outside doing some clean up and the spring peepers are out singing. I expect to see frog eggs soon in my little pond.

WOW! February here in northern lower Michigan is always a very cold winter month. Peepers don't wake up till at least late April or early May here. I do love the sounds they make along with all the crickets we have around our place in the Summer time!
Snowing here today.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
We've been upper 30's and hit 40. The snow on the roof has melted back to the original snow line.
do leaves count????
Well so much for that, woke up to new snow.
Got woke up about 3am with the loudest thunder storm we've had in a long while, about gave me a heart attack! We had the few days of 60-70s then rain again and now the thunder and lighting with the rain and turning colder again...
Watch for ice again, otherwise thunderstorms are cool. jmo
Stale bread does not have much nutritional value, though we all sure do like it. white bread has about as much nutritional value as clouds, but I'll take grilled cheese sandwiches all day long (I may not be as smart as I think) Why not buy a bag of trout chow for him to fling. Grow those fishies into lunkers. The turtles will like it too.
Way too early for peepers here. If they do try they might be "peeping through glass".
84, no reason you can't shoot "at" leaves on a pond. I think it is quite possible to accomplish just that.
Topped out at 35 degrees here today and pure blue skies - a sign that a storm is coming. My neighbor got up on his roof today to sweep the snow off of his solar panels.
I love the sound of frogs! When I was back in Scouts we'd here at least four or five different types around the ponds and lakes. In the woods you'd hear the peepers and other treefrogs. Brings back great memories.
We have a frog pond on the other side of the driveway....its constantly full of frogs. Its amazing how many different sounds they make.....little chirps, loud screams, squeeking, deep bluuurps, sometimes it is so loud you can't hear people talking due to frog sounds. The pond across the street is totally different, clean with no critters at all. I don't understand how two ponds a few feet from each other can be so different.
It is my understanding that the presence of frogs living in a pond, creek, lake, marsh\swamp, is a sign of a healthy environment. When the frogs go, it signals something is wrong.
So what was the name of the guy that played "Mr. Peepers" anyway😉
I think it was Wally Cox.
OK-Not to let this go-Who sang "Jeepers, Creepers, where did you get those Peepers🤔
I believe Louis Armstrong
