On warm summer nights you can hear the frogs croaking in the side ditches and down in the shallow pond among the cattails...Listening to the wee peepers and the 'belly deep' croak of the bull frogs is one of my favorite memories. It seems like they all croak in their own key, making up a wonderful country chorus , with Katydids , crickets and other bugs adding courting calls in the background ...Lightning bugs flicker down in the pasture signaling to their mates hidden in the tall weeds and grass..and June bugs keep banging against the screen trying to get to the lamplight...Till the cats catch and eat them....

Back in 1970 we moved to the country in central Oregon. We had an irrigation pond just down the hill and the frogs would do their croaking every night. I was a city girl and not used to the sounds of the country. Those frogs and whatever else chimed in would keep me awake for a lot of nights. But when I left there and moved back to the city, I missed my country sounds. I had gotten used to them and they would lull me to sleep.
