Year 5, Day 304 “Living the Dream”. Saturday, 2/28/2026, The Wellington. Good Morning last day of February.
It is loud outside with the sound of the Upland Chorus Frog. The males are calling and ready to breed. These amphibians can be found in the south central counties of Kentucky.
This calling breeding season runs through March and well into April. The sound is like running a fingernail over the teeth of a large metal comb. Here in KY it is the first promise of the coming spring. The male Upland Chorus Frog is only 1½ inches long and the biggest female maybe 2 inches. Our drainage ditch in the back is filled with their sound. Going near any spot in the ditch the frogs get really quiet in that spot. They hide in the dense grass at the edge of the water with only the tip of their nose exposed when calling. When approached, they quickly disappear beneath the surface and hide under the water in vegetation. By May they will all move from the ditch to shelter under leaf litter, logs, or anything else that keeps them moist. We often find them when moving lumber piles.
The hole for the 1,000 gallon cement Septic tank has been excavated by the end of the day and is ready for Monday’s delivery. The hole is 12 feet long by 60 inches deep by 65 inches wide. At 60 inches we hit a ledge of rock. Steve had to jump in the hole and measure to ensure it was level. Proper tank intake and outtake depends on the tank being level. We are watching Monday’s weather closely. We need to get the tank in place before it rains a lot. Rain is predicted for Monday. Hopefully the tank will be delivered early or the rain occur later in the day.
Thoughts to ponder.
