Aww the toads! Mine have not started yet, they always come first.

I am getting the snake traps out, they will be showing up again soon.

Our wood frogs showed up to do their thing over a month ago. SO many this year! The amount of eggs (now tadpoles) is incredible.

Then the toads descended on us a couple weeks ago. They've sung their songs, deposited loads of eggs & moved on now.

Spring is in full bloom around my house/yard/pond!
