A female toad carries a male toad on its back as it travels to a nearby pond to lay eggs.

All the critters have come out of hibernation here in southern michigan. The temperatures are all over the place but I’m seeing the occasional turtle, hearing the peepers at night and spooking the snakes during the day.

I hope Mr Toad know what he’s doing, trusting here to drive...
That grate ahead of her doesn’t look very “toad friendly”.

I know spring is here when my cat disappears for a couple of days at a time.

Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head! Friend Owl, from Bambi

Good thing polar bears and penuins are at opposite ends of the planet. If they all came into heat at the same time, disaster could ensue.

Great timing on this story.
My dog, a Shima Inu, heard the first ice cream truck of the season yesterday and became very excited, screaming (Shiba’s scream), running from the window, back to me and back to the window several times.
In the summer time he runs to the truck with all the kids on the block, knowing a few of them will give his a sample. Often he beats them to the truck.

There’s a killer on the road.
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad.

I find this a somewhat more beautiful harbinger of spring!

I feel like a toad, get laid once a year whether I want it or not.

I see that the woodchucks are coming out to sleep in a pool of blood along the road. It is a sure sign of spring!

Sure sign of spring. The spring breakers come and the snowbirds go home.
