    Last spring, dozens collected on my porch during a rain storm. I brought three into my home and put them in a tropical terrarium. Fed them crickets, wax worms, meal worms, moths collected from around the porch lights. They settled in contentedly and chirped away whenever I turned off the lights. I loved it, found the sounds soothing and sleep inducing. Let them go in late summer to give them time to settle down for the winter. They were probably better nourished than their fend-for-themselves fellow amphibians in the neighborhood.

    That woodland shindig reminds me of a song from my childhood that starts off like this….

    Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride, uh-huh Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride, uh-huh Frog went a courtin’ and he did ride With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

    He rode right up to Miss Mousie’s door, uh-huhHe rode right up to Miss Mousie’s door, uh-huhHe rode right up to Miss Mousie’s doorGave three loud raps, and a very big roar, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.He said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me? uh-huhHe said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me? uh-huhHe said, "Miss Mouse, will you marry me?And oh so happy we will be, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

    This made me laugh by the 2nd panel. True story: In my days as an emergency dispatcher, I had a woman call in for police because she thought there was an alarm going off in the area.

    Responding officers identified the source as many loud, happy frogs celebrating the recent rain.

    Peepers (we don’t call them peep toads here, we call them spring peepers) are one of my favourite sounds in the world. They start just about as soon as the ice is out of the ponds and that means spring has finally arrived. They go right into June, and they can be deafening, but it’s a good kind of deafening. One of the best nights of the year is that first night it’s warm enough to open the windows at night and let their sound in.

    Beatrix’ s blushing is so sweet, I love her addition to the cast. Tommy is such a character, love his pj’ s. Frog went a courtin’ is perfect, although it looks like JUMP, JIVE and WAIL might also be appropriate, the mice and frogs look like they could be swing dancing!

    All bad for the critturs. However—

    Never let reality get in the way of a good story.

    Despite all the housing construction in our area we still have lots of frogs peeping away on spring nights. It was my boy’s first experience of peeps this year, they had their noses pressed into the window screen trying to figure out where the noise was coming from☺

    Georgia, you got me again. Bea’s exchange with the dog. I have often observed animal etiquette and marveled at it. The best example, which I get to observe often and it makes me smile every time, is this: we are surrounded by five fenced-in yards, all with multiple dogs. On one side we have a newly-arrived youngster with springs in his legs, a yard to protect and a point to make with EVERYONE. When he sees our two out he LEAPS about the yard giving one and all whatfor. Until they stop to do their business, at which point he promptly sits down quietly until they finish, whereupon he resumes. It is hysterical! On the other side is a delightful dog with whom they politely swap piddle messages on the fence. That also makes me smile. I LOVE your celebration of the beauties, or, as Puck so beautifully put it, the majesty of nature.

    Peep toads? The first thing that came to my mind was a marshmellow treat shaped like a toad.

    I love the mice girls. When will the boy mice come to visit them? We need boat-loads of little pinkies.

    Not only can cats not have chocolate, but they wouldn’t want it, as they can’t taste sweetness.

    In my day [creak] asking why someone doesn’t want chocolate or bread or whatever was a way of being polite and showing concern about the person’s health. These things change over the years and different cultures have different standards about it (as shown in the 1946 Anna and the King of Siam ).
