i'm guessing it's outside, eh?

it's hiding behind the clouds here,
but the temperature is mild tonight... about 62F.

i just came indoors from listening to the
night sounds here.

there are 3 species of anura calling in the
wetlands and fields around here...
a strong chorus of spring peepers from
the flooded forest across the road....
a strong chorus of wood frogs from the
small creek that runs across my farm,
and the trilling of garden toads.

also the peenting of woodcock that have taken
up residence in the pasture beside my house...
they used to be just back behind the barn
but there seem to be more this year
and they are nesting closer to the house.

it would be nice to be able to sleep outdoors
from spring through autumn.
we have a screened in porch on our house
and i sometimes sleep out there in summer.
just a little too cold and damp for that
at this time of the year though.
