My husband and I went to Norfolk County on a genealogical adventure a few years ago and stayed two nights at a hotel. The hotel was fine, had what we needed, it was pandemic, so the complimentary breakfast was in a takeaway bag to take to your room. What I remember most was that the pool was not open, a mess, needing repairs and it was right outside our window. In the evening of the first night as we went to bed, we realized quickly that a pool that is sitting dormant with green water is a haven for frogs. The sound was deafening as they all peeped their hearts out in the twilight. A few nights ago I was working in our yard late and in the driveway and I again had the frog experience. Our own pool liner ripped in the winter, and we have not opened the pool, it sits neglected and the frogs have clearly moved in. Instantly I thought of our fun trip and those noisy nights. Broken pools are a challenge and a cost and take work to fix. I guess I am musing here that in the midst of the challenge I made great memories, frogs found a great place to rest, to play and it all makes a great story. Like that overused quote about not waiting for the rain to pass, instead learning to dance in it. Do not simply wait for the pool to be fixed, enjoy the frog concert while you are waiting. I am positive it will catch on. Enjoy the summer sounds.
