Lost Frogs
Personal memory by Mary Lee Mackichan
1967-2018 • Palo Alto, CA, USA
When I was a kindergartener in California, I saw toads and frogs in the grassy front yard every day, and several when it rained. In the last 6 years I have not seen even one, nor even seen one in the surrounding open spaces. My daughter finally saw and heard frogs only when we visited Yosemite.
