Pond Awakens Before Spring
Every year this is the sound that lets my family know that spring is here: peepers of spring
peepers
The first animals to awaken from our pond are the frogs we call peepers, they get very loud. This winter (2013) had seemed particularly long so this sound is particularly sweet to us.
2018 Update
[Its late February 2018 now and I thought I would revive this post from 2013. I’m eagerly anticipating the start of spring again. When I hear these first peeps from these mini frog I plan to dance a jig. Spring time is a particularly exciting time for me, I enjoy gardening and spending time outdoors. We live in NY and the winters seem particularly long and cold.
Since this post in 2013 I’ve learned to see Jesus Christ in all things. So I see him now in these peepers and in the end of NY winter.
Song of Songs 2:11 For behold, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. 12 The flowers have already appeared in the land; the time has arrived for pruning the vines, and the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
The sounds of the peepers for me are spiritually like my friends and family discussing Jesus Christ. His name on their lips is a reminder, he is coming, he is still there, the time is short now when everything will change.]
These little frogs get progressively louder, after them come the bull frogs, then the toads. This post is also my first attempt at adding an audio file to my blog, I plan to host a podcast soon so this mp3 file is practice for what is to come.
