If you are new to Tennessee or do not live near a pond it is possible you do not know the sound of spring peepers. They are, for me, one of life's most magical sounds because they tell me spring is near and all is well in our world.
I don't remember ever hearing peepers before I moved here in 2001. In February of 2002 the chorus began and thus began my love for the sound of our friends, the spring peepers. I found a YouTube sound bite that can make you think you are outside listening to the very frogs I hear each evening. Listen to their music and picture catching fireflies and running barefoot through a fragrant field of grass....

ReplyDeleteI LOVE hearing the spring peepers. If I could record them I'd play it back every night when I sleep. So soothing!!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me relaxed and sleepy....zzzzz.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed that. I just reread a book that I'd read a long time ago, which was published in 1955. Ruth Stout lived in New York, near Newtown Connecticut. She mentioned in the book how their driveway was part of the road to there, until they made a deal with to have their driveway moved in exchange for some stones on their property. Anyway, she mentioned the spring peepers letting her know when spring was near.
Still hearing the sound of melting snow up here. Thanks for sharing your peepers!
ReplyDeleteWe really have a lot of frogs here too. Lots of noise all night long!!
