What a gorgeous night. warm air, bright stars. I went to check on the lambs-- fine, nestled in the straw with Penny. Two frogs were standing in the puddle, singing to the night and the future. I watched one of them in the flashlight for a while. His profile, throat bubbled in song-- he looked like he was singing to the moon.
