Last night while mowing my lawn, I saw three frogs in my yard. In 24 years of living here and mowing the grass, this was a first.
Where did the frogs come from? I know the biological answer and the evolutionary answer and the creation answer, but those are the wrong answers to my question. I want to know why this trio of amphibians suddenly showed up in my yard.
- There is no water on my property or nearby,
- We are not in a low spot,
- My lawn is not even damp, and
- Given the drought earlier this summer, the water table is surely lower than normal.
Where did my frogs come from?
I asked the ever-resourceful Google and was treated with 29,300 exact matches to my query, but the top four sites didn’t provide the answer I was seeking. With 29,296 still to check, I’ve already given up.
I turn the question over to you: Where did the frogs in my yard come from?
