frogs, peepers, out tonight

http://glencadia.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-peepers-are-out-tonight.html

Every year I note the night the peepers, frogs, come out. It's a very clear marker of spring, as all the frogs come out at once -- once one male frog starts singing for a mate, the others come right out and join in so it goes from quiet one night to loud the next night. It is loud right now.

Here are 7 years of first nights.

thanksgiving at glencadia dog camp 2013

Highlights: sheep in the area next to where the dogs are and my own dog goes nuts. I had the sheep in the barn because we had freezing rain -- otherwise they should be on the field. Or I put the sheep in to let the dogs use that field... so there is a bit of overlap on the way in and out. And Wellington gets all mixed up in the sheep in the video.

Look at this video here.

And you can look here too. You can also see the same stuff here:
