The Toads are Croaking


    The ice hasn’t been long off of the lakes and ponds, and already the toads and frogs can be heard croaking and chirping as they congregate to try to attract mates.  It is another optimistic sign that Spring has finally arrived at the Robson Valley.  I was feeling so good about that fact and then I put this photo up on my computer screen to tweak it and noticed in the water around the toad, mosquito larvae wriggling around.
    After such a long time getting to Spring, it would have been nice to have a bit of a break before the mosquitoes engulf us.
