We had a spring in the field at the base of a large hill where my sisters and I used to catch tadpoles and bring them to the house with water from the sping, Then watch them turn into frogs. Sometimes dozens of them would be hopping around the back yard but Mom never complained. <br />I hope your husband will find the time to share his memories with us.

One is not too far down the road, but unfortunately downhill from a large dog breeding kennel and all their waste. The other has been capped by a well house and I can't get to the source unless I'm brave enough to enter the dark, rickety Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05961614872895512970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-84087723027926819982010-01-29T14:56:32.201-05:002010-01-29T14:56:32.201-05:00Your post brought back a flood gate of memories fo...Your post brought back a flood gate of memories for me as a child on our farm.
