Twilight Cacophony....

I grabbed the laundry basket this evening and headed down to the basement...
With ideas ping-ponging around in my head,
I threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine without giving a second thought to sorting them....
Tossed in the detergent ....and
Walked back outside....somewhat dazed, fatigued....

That's whenI heard it - -
The first concert of the year
Down by the pond.
Hundreds of voices announcing their transformation
from tadpoles to wannabe bullfrogs...
Adolescent amphibians
joining in a spring chorus...vibrations in unison...
Crescendo...pause...
The second verse....

It was magical....a connection to the same moment year after year
and to the memories it brings...

The first song of the "peepers...."
March 9, 2006.....
