Peepers!

Heard the peepers for the first time last Tuesday,and again last night,while out for a walk in the woods at dusk.

Today,determined to have a little time with the river before fishing season opens, I followed the trail along the bank for awhile. I saw the most interesting(to me) new thing today in a stream! It was a frog egg mass! To be certain, I looked it up online,and that is what it was. I noticed a wierd jelly thing in the stream,and on closer inspection,saw what appeared to be little seeds inside,tons of them.

I put a large log nearby,so I can check the growth next week. However,I really need to get some tick spray! It was awful,I must've picked 5 off my clothes when I got back to the road.Yuck.

Also,there is a large stray cat living under our home. I called animal control,but haven't heard back yet. I swear I may have to start photographing it and captioning it for ICHC,because it's a damn comical cat. A fat tabby with no tail,lurking about, hiding under the house when I come around,furtively looking back over it's huge ass as it disapears to do god-knows-what down there.

Back to work tomorrow.*sigh* At least there's some off time coming soon.
