jan wrote finding frogs jumping
about his house, or gasp in the middle of the night,

One year, this was before ponds, some neighbor kids went down the canyon that
runs through our subdivision. There was an old wooden irrigation canal bridge
that crossed overhead and it used to leak, in the puddle below were hundreds of
tadpoles who were going to die when the puddle dried up. The kids rescued them
and brought them home. Home is not where they stayed, their parents said NO.
So, of course, they came here and here they stayed. We had tadpoles all over
the house in containers. This was my first experience raising baby frogs and I
didn't realize how quickly they can go from almost frog to frog.
So.... in the middle of the night baby froglets made their way down the hallway
to the bathroom to visit the porcelain pond. Alas when they got their they
realized the porcelain pond was a raised pond, hundreds of frog feet above
their tiny heads. A person visiting the porcelain pond, turing on the light,
discovered little frog bodies gathered at the base of the porcelain pond.
