A scene after the honeymoon.... |
This morning, James was staring out our kitchen window.
"What ya lookin' at?" I asked.
"Oh, the frog is having a great time out there," he said, nodding toward our stock tank in the back yard. "She's diving in and out and just having a lot of fun."
"Hmmmm, I've never seen her do that before," I said.
From the dining room window, I took a gander through my binoculars.
"Uh, James," I said. "There's TWO heads out there. And they seem to be honeymooning...."
"Yeah?" He looked again. "Oh, yeah, you're right! There are two frogs!"
So this morning we had a little hanky panky going on in the stock tank between a pair of Rio Grande leopard frogs. I 'spect we'll be in the family way soon. Make way for tadpoles!
P.S. I remember last year worrying about tadpoles coming so late in the season (September 29). These will be even later! Plus, I don't think we had any tadpoles that made it to maturity last year.
