Frogs. Florida is raining frogs.

I have posted some

cute frog graphics for you to see.

We are finally getting rain. WaaHoo!
And along with the rain comes frogs.
Croak, croak, croak.

After not having rain for a while and

getting a little concerned about a drought

the sound is actually comforting.

Except around 3a.m.

Then I wonder when they sleep.

Who would have know Florida has so many

types of frogs. There's about 33 species.

I personally like the cute green one that

we call a tree frog.

I found a fun site that

might keep the children busy for a while.

It is a FROG CALL LOOKUP where you can

choose the name of the frog and it will open

a sound file so you can hear the "croak" of that

particular frog species.
