Amazing sex
Every year for the last few years, The frogs have spawned in our lake on February the 14th.
Not the 13th.
Not the 15th.
The 14th.
Every year on the same night. I find it incredible that their timing is so accurate.
I was sad this year, because the weather has been so different. Instead of the usual cold, wet miserable February that we normally get, we had a fucking freezing wet miserable February. There was no way that those frogs were going to spawn.
I went for a stroll this morning around the estate, and happened by the lake.
There it was.
A seething mass of jelly covering a fair portion of the water.
Those little buggers had been shagging their brains out right on cue and the evidence of their frenzy was plain to be seen.
How do they know the date?
So there you have it. Love is not in the air on St Valentine’s Day.
It’s in the water.
If you were allowed to have sex only one day a year wouldn’t you remember the date?
Brianf – Put like that….. I suppose. Are you speaking from experience?
Quite true Brian..
Nature finds a way..it runs by its own calender and then just when you think you have something pegged,it goes and surprises you..
Are they all done with the shagging by the time you get to the lake Grandad?
Frogs are cool.
Welcome Fill3rup! The odd time I have seen them. The come in their dozens for a mass orgy – a gang bang on a grand scale. This time though there was no sign of them; just their spawn.
“Love in the air / water”, ha, sounds more like “lust in the water”.
by the by, wonder how many computers will block this post given its eye-catching title?
Well, it’s like what old Grandpa Frog used to say, “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we croak!”
Good for them!
I’m glad you happened up pond that scene.
Sounds like a wet & wild February for the Irish frogs!…we’re experiencing a bit of a drought over here…literally & figuratively.
ho-hum.
Charmed – Love? Lust? What’s the difference? I would say this post will probably be blocked, but think of the lovely searches I will get!! 😈
Star – That is rapidly becoming my motto for life!
RhodesTer – You have come up with some bad ones in the past but that is in a league of its own!!
Hiya Olga! The weather here is very strange at the moment. Last week we had a foot of snow and the lake was frozen over, but today was a beautiful spring day – calm and mild. Weird.
Grandad,
Put the jelly in a jar and sell it to the Russians as caviar, they eat anything you know!
The froggies can have Valentine’s Day; I hate it. Must admit I’m impressed with their dedication, considering what the weather’s been!
Is this an allegory for Grandad getting jiggy on Val’s day?
That’s actually kind of awesome.
That’s quite cool actually.
Our pond here seems to explode in froggy love a bit later, you can hear the buggers at it over the television.
