Over the last couple of weeks there has been one frog that spends most of the night and part of the day crocking near the front of the house. I assume it is a frog in search of a mate. Since I do not know a female crock from a male crock, I'll assume it is a male. Whenever I operate any power equipment, such has the hedge trimmer it makes the frog crock more and loader. You would think it would scare or silence the frog. Off in the distance I can hear other frogs that seem to be communicating with each other on maybe who is available for courting or just looking for a fling. Why doesn't the lone frog by the house not venture out to mingle with the other frogs in the wild? Maybe he is hoping a female frog out in the wild will hear his call and come look him up to see if there is any chemistry. I guess it is one of the many great mysteries of life to ponder.
