Peepers!

No, not these (though they’re nice, too).
These!

I have always adored Spring Peepers. They promise warm evenings, windows thrown open, sweet summer on the way. I’ve seen them on a just few occasions, because they’re only an inch and a half long and well camouflaged, but I sure do know they’re out there. I was driving down my road this evening, with the windows open because it’s finally warm enough, and as I passed the beginning of the woods, there it was, that wonderful sound, a happy ending to my day. It’s gotten colder tonight, too cold to open the windows and listen some more, but I don’t mind. Spring Peepers = Big Smile.

And here’s a Stupendous Spring Peepin’ Sky picture for Sandy.
