Sunny Days!

We did another Chorus Frog drive. This used to be a lovely water treatment, with a water fall. That takes work. I know, working on my goldfish pond.


It's a lovely drive in the sunshine.





We went to the quarry, where we listened for frogs. It's a long straight road! There are several sites along this road, with Chorus Frogs singing. 



We didn't hear any elsewhere, I just wanted to hear them once more. They only sing during their 2 - 3 weeks of mating season in April. Someone needs to pick up their garbage. 

I'd like to see a Chorus Frog. I don't think that will happen!


It is interesting that a Conservative, Scott Reid, has held our riding since 2000. I've seen precious few signs. Suddenly, with PP losing some momentum, the Conservative Party leader's signs have appeared in our riding. The leader isn't running in our riding. Those with the most elected MPs form the government. We don't elect our PM in ridings in Canada. We elect local people, like Reid or Liberal Michelle Foxton, in this riding.  It's like they panicked and put up whatever they had. 

The funny thing is that they are worried PP will lose his seat and his Carleton Riding . Our kids in Ottawa live in between Carleton and PM Carney's Riding. I'll be glad when it is over. Let's deal with this tariff crap and there are multiple families who have two adults who work in the auto industry. The impact on communities is profound, with more and more people being impacted.

Kermit will be proud of your searching. Hope your elections result well. Again, the smart folks in the U.S. are so sorry the world is dealing with our jerk of a president. Linda in Kansas

Looks like a nice scenic drive! I love any view that includes water.
Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.

The frog chorus is very soothing. I can see why you like it.

His signage has sprung up here too, but at least it belongs here.

Isn't it wonderful to see the sun?! And good luck on your election. I'm watching closely!

They were singing away in the vernal ponds around my place yesterday.

Look at all that sunshine! I love hearing the frogs, so relaxing.

Wow I have never heard frogs like that in real life! So cool to listen to the video! Much more entertaining than my own backyard. The only exciting thing there is the new gate latch we had installed this week haha. Thanks for sharing!

I wouldn't have known that noise was frogs. I haven't seen a frog around here in years. I did see some around one of the other apartment complexes that had a waterfall near the driveway years ago.

Yay for chorus frogs! Loved hearing their sweet songs of love! I do hope the political arena settles down soon.
