Sigh

Well, Here we are on another Monday morning and are still eggless. I have been looking, as have a lot of my co-workers, for eggs. I plan to go out again this afternoon. I had had hopes of getting eggs into classroom tanks tomorrow.
If all else fails, I guess this will be a good opportunity to teach about how unpredictable Mother Nature can be. I believe the quote is "You can't fool Mother Nature" and here we were planning to get thru this amphibian project a little earlier than usual this year. I think Mother Nature may be saying Ppppbbbsssttt!
Well, it isn't over yet. The males have been calling the last few days and as I was out riding around last night listening, I saw toads moving around. Maybe it was the females headed to the ponds and there will be eggs later today. Keep your fingers crossed!
