Meanwhile,
it is spring in April, or meant to be.
But today, in western Massachusetts,
we started out warm,
and then the temperature dropped
something like twenty-five degrees Fahrenheit
in a matter of hours.
Now it is snowing.

And after dark, the froggy peepers started peeping away ...
I had to move my parked car after 10 pm, it was bitter cold,
the snow was falling.
and there were still a few forlorn
peep peep   peeep? going on.
I picture frogs freezing slowly to death.
