Spring peepers in PA have an incredibly low, rustling tone that is something totally new to us. Last night we put up a window in the bedroom and were confronted with a "what the hell is that?" kind of noise/shock. I'm used to the bright, froggy tone of spring peepers who chirp out from swampy ditches at passers-by; here peepers just kind of howl from any old place.
We had a banner weekend for no particular reason. We pushed on the garden and got the wall done, the weed barrier down, the topsoil and manure in, and the first plants and seeds planted and seeded. Jenelle has been dutifully watering and it is very exciting. Sunday morning we went for a nice ride at Rodale and took a quick slow (figure THAT) walk through the first car show of the season at Macungie Memorial Park. In the afternoon at home we worked on a number of small little things that didn't amount to much but were all nice to have done (or tried). Then we went on a long looping stroll through the neighborhood to our west and called it a day.
