Frogs are out! Saw the first ones of the season in a little puddle along the trail while riding my bike late this afternoon. Lots of frogs. Lots of pictures of frogs, because\u2026frogs. I even love the word f-r-o-g. I believe the species is the northern green. Soon we\u2019ll start hearing them in our little pond, and watch them flying off in the clutches of our residents hawks who find them tasty treats. Farther along in a marshy spot below the trail, the peepers were in full tilt\u2014nearly deafening. The noise may be a preview of what\u2019s to come when the Brood X cicadas hatch out of the ground starting in late May.<\/p>\n

I had a difficult time getting motivated to work today, since the temps also broke 70 degrees; hence the bike. But today is also National Get Over It Day, so I did\u2014get over work, that is, and didn\u2019t worry too much about accomplishing bubkis. My bike ride happen to take me past my office building; a year now since I was last inside. (It also happens to be National Barbie Day, but we won\u2019t go there.) Had an impromptu meeting with a contractor about cutting egress windows and a basement stairwell in preparation for finishing the basement this summer.<\/p>\n

Hubby has been mostly home this winter since there\u2019s not much work on. I\u2019ve enjoyed having him around during the day. He\u2019s been spending hours studying for an irrigation certification test coming up on Thursday. His strategy is to talk about how badly he\u2019s going to fail so that if he does pass, he\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised. My strategy is to talk positive\u2014and risk being disappointed if something doesn\u2019t turn out the way I\u2019d hoped. I don\u2019t know which is better, but I do know he hates it whenever I try to tell him how awesome he\u2019ll do. People are funny.<\/p>\n\n
