The town of Volga is about ten miles from The Little House. A restaurant there offers free meals to veterans all day. While thinking about going to claim a free meal it didn't seem quite right. When the current management took over, they removed every sound dampening feature. Naturally it became very noisy. With my compromised hearing it's a frustrating place to eat. Consequently, I no longer patronize it. So, it seemed suspect to go just to claim a free meal, and I didn't go.
With the recent 5" rain frogs in the wetland across the road have become vocal. It's been dry since spring. This new moisture must have raised them from their estivation. "Late-season moisture ends estivation by:
Rehydrating the animal and restoring normal physiology .
Stimulating emergence from estivation shelters .
Enabling return to active life cycles, including feeding and breeding .
Potentially exposing the animal to new ecological and disease risks ." Internet
