No Peepers yet

My colleague, Paula, who lives about 3 miles away, came to my classroom on Wednesday to tell me that she had heard spring peepers behind her home ( they must have been very optimistic peepers!). I have checked the pond and not a peep yet! Of course, we are always a bit colder here as it takes longer for the pond to defrost, so to speak;-) But, we should be hearing them as soon as this next cold snap leaves our neck of the woods, sometime in the first week of April.
