We have a beautiful little creek and a couple of waterfalls and catch basins with spectacular fish that runs along the outside walls of our bedroom and past a patio. In the Spring and Fall we leave our windows open so we can hear the sound of the water flowing down the stream. Even during the summer with the windows closed, we can hear the muffled splash of water as it cascades over the rocks. But last night, it was different.....much different.
Apparently, we have been invaded by a plethora of croaking frogs that sang all night and I'm guessing courted each other with their almost screeching sound.
At first, it was kind of intriguing, knowing that we have created a nice little eco-system right in our own side yard, but enough is ENOUGH........... If it happens again tonight, it looks like it will be frog legs for dinner.
The person who promised to love and honor and feed our fish, and I spent half the night tossing and turning and occasionally laughing at what we had gotten ourselves into. This morning, Pattye was even spending time on the Net trying to identify the species of amphibian that had robbed us of our sleep.
Recently, I have been thinking about getting away for a couple of days....maybe rent a nice lake house where we could spend of a couple of days just relaxing and getting away from the sights and sounds of the big city......after last night of hearing Mother Nature in all of her glory.......we might just have to trade that idea in on a nice hotel room with only the sound of a humming AC and the background noise of cable TV.
Oh, the dilemma.
