      Froggos can do that! They practice every day.

        There is a frog species in the midwest, which can completely freeze during the winter. Frozen like a cube of ice.
        Given perfect conditions, they slowly thaw and the heart starts to beat. Heard this from Heather Heying on their Darkhorse podcast.
        I had no idea something like this could even be possible. Hibernation, where just the barest of life's engine still works, but not frozen like a popsicle.
        Brenda, can your frogs do that? Have you ever heard of what I'm talking about? Maybe people living in the midwest know all this stuff, but out west we're still fighting bears and indians (sorry Larry, but it's true).

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

            Only non-witches get due process.

              Yes! The gray tree frogs do that here. That's what I have. In Minnesoooooota, any frog or toad has to be able to do that, otherwise they would never survive here, nor be able to reproduce here.

              Of course, in the spring, I wonder whether my froggos made it through the winter. It was great to see Emmie come up to the porch this spring, and to hear Jurgi trilling, both letting me know they made it through the winter.

              The biggest problem here is the predators, such as toads, cats, or anything that eats small animals. Tree frogs are rather small, about 1.5 to 2 inches long. I found a toad here more than once now, and deported it each time. The first time it was sitting under the birdfeeder pole while Emmie was climbing up on it. It was hoping to catch a quick snack.

                  Amazing. . . what we learn at TNCR!
                  Pretty soon now, shouldn't we be getting some pictures from LuFin?
