We finally got the rain we needed later yesterday afternoon. It didn't last long but it did cool off just a tiny bit. I woke up this morning to rain and it had been raining overnight.
As I sat on our balcony drinking my coffee this morning, I could hear all the frogs croaking happily. We always hear them at night but when it rains, they are extremely loud and you can also hear the tree frogs which we have a lot of.
It made me smile because they are so happy that it is raining and they are singing their little hearts out. I kind of wanted to join in their song as it is a bit cooler this morning. Not a lot but the humidity is down a little. I hope it rains all day long. I love the rain just like the frogs do!

I seldom hear frogs here in our area even when it rains.. I kind of like the sound of frogs late at night when it rains..
But this evening I was watching a cooking show and this guy cooked stir fried frogs..eww!

I love rains so much. They make the weather cool and the nature becomes more beautiful. I observed a lot of frogs this rainy season too

the rain is not a friend to my breathing lately but I do like the kind we have there back home where you are. just the rain here is terrible, thunder, lightening, never seems gentle and rain most every day a down pour. your morning sounds lovely. I love little frogs and toads ...

Lately, when we have rain it is accompanied by thunder and lightening so I a not as enthused as I am by just the rain. Wee needed it though so that is good.

@crazyhorseladycx Maybe it is just too hot for the frogs? When we lived in Vegas, we didn't have mosquitoes and a lot of other insects because it would get too hot.

@simone10 frogs like water 'n there aint much'f that 'round these parts (rivers/lakes/creeks). i wish 't'd gotten too hot fer insects here last month. 'pparently those 100+ temps jest slowed 'em down a bit, lol.

I'mma have to listen to a tree frog's croak, because that might be what I hear my apartment complex's doggie park after it rains.

@simone10 Well that makes me more curious, because I liked Tree-Frogs as a kid...

I'm sure those poor frogs have been suffering from the lack of rain too and were probably doing a rain dance as well as singing when it finally fell
