Frogs

I really enjoy spring on my street for many reasons but a favorite sound I listen for that confirms spring's coming is the croaking of the frogs--or they may be toads. Its so loud and obnoxious but I just love it. People who don't recognize the sound often ask what it is with a wrinkled up nose. Its just a wonderful sound to me. We live across the street from a "green space." That translates to about 2 undeveloped lots on our court that have been left natural. Its really pretty even if part of it is a wet land area. There is a woody part further behind the wet area that Jacob has been adventurous enough to explore. The toads are calling each other today. I can hear them in my house---with all the doors and windows closed and my radio on---and very soon there will be eggs and then tadpoles for my kids to watch with wonder. God's creation is so wonderful and far too amazing for anyone to truly write off as coincidence. What a pleasure it is to get to share it!
