Dead Frogs
Posted
Yesterday it finally got warm enough that my partner and I were able to go for our first walk of the season. It had been getting pretty depressing being stuck inside all winter. Walking and being in nature are pretty important for my mental health and one of my favorite things to do with my partner. We always go right to a little pond I like to call the frog pond. It's usually full of cute frogs hopping around and sometimes other wildlife like a turtle or heron. This time it was full of dead frogs and tadpoles. It was pretty cool to see. The entire bottom of the pond was swarming with schools of cute little tadpoles swimming around.
It was warm out, but chilly in the shade. The ice on the still water hadn't fully melted yet and the trees hadn't grown their leaves back yet. It had the atmosphere of a still winter day with the warmth of spring. I felt at home and comfortable.
