They make a sound like a woman being murdered.

Better yet, burn down the cranky neighbor's house.......
I'd give anything to hear the sound of frogs and other nature at night. Where I live now, all I hear is the distant rumble of heavy vehicle traffic.

Thanks, those options are so cool. Gotta figure out how to get them on the TV in my bedrool.....

My dad had three Peacocks at one time.
“And I always heard that the French enjoyed frogs”
May be they just loved cooked frog legs. I LOVED frog legs but it’s been decades since Mrs. Paul’s has sold them.
Went looking for them on restaurant menu is my area but it’s a no go.
Fried and dipped in butter is heaven.

California after dark?
WHAT, ARE YOU NUTS?
It’s the neighbors themselves renting out to weekenders with loud drunken parties.
I love that sound, too. At just the right time of year we can hear crickets, cicadas, and frogs singing at the same time. It is quite a concert!
Ambient noise of all kinds I enjoy. One of my favorite coffee spots was a place called The Flight Path because jets would roar over it once or twice an hour on their approach to the airport. Gave the place character.
Then the airport closed and moved to the old Bergstrom AFB.
Four or five breeds of frogs, coyotes (love them song dogs), foxes, three owl species, cattle, quail, and the neighbors goats and rooster are just some of the sounds we get to hear.
Reminds me of a story in Omaha where a housing development went in next to a hog farm and the neighbors sued because of the smell.
How pleasant.
I honestly clicked on this thread expecting a group of FRs mental patients to be purging themselves all over the thread.
If someone had used the word for “the useless crop of grass in front of the house”... pshhht! NO! Dont say it. The word summons...THEM...they get all hysterical about them buying into property values nonsense and and well, I dont know, I suppose one of them could make up a story about their sister and her contagious frog borne disease or something.
Maybe the Eightch-Ohh!-Aye contingent have been fortunate enough to find their final resting place or joined a friendly compound of fellow nazis.
Ive intentionally moved far out to be part of a BFE to do pretty much anything I damn well please and avoid these people. Every once in a while some rich moron decides hes going to try the Green Acres thing and tries to bring the city out here and its always a circus until they leave.
I really love my frogs and the other visitors to my place. Well, I can think of some places I would like to relocate some of the foxes and coyotes to where they can dine on roaming cats and other bait animals but otherwise its nice.
Maybe the neighborhood can buy out neighbor and send him to a flat in town or maybe they can buy out grandma and send her to a nice village in the middle third of France. Theres hardly anyone out there and I doubt the locals would mind her pond.
France is a cradle to grave socialist society but I think we have identified another right that has yet to be recognized. Just as all those old folks over there have paid in with the promise of being taken care of so therefor should have a right to a nice cool mountain retirement vacation village for the summer so they dont cook to death, they should also have the right to environmentally agreeable living locations. Either the police should move the man to a downtown apartment or grandma should have the police move her to the country or maybe both as would be correct in a just authoritarian socialist utopia.
Quick…
France still has many good things; deep into the article they mention this:
The Guardian also reported that French lawmakers recently passed legislation to keep the nation’s countryside as natural as possible by protecting “sensory heritage” — that is, the smells and sounds of local wildlife. “Living in the countryside implies accepting some nuisances,” Joël Giraud, the minister for rural life at the time of the law’s passing, said to lawmakers.
I didnt even know she ever had them, that must have been a while back.
Not even a nice quaint country supper club? Not even in Lent?
That sounds like a terrible place. If you ever get over here let me know and Ill show you a few nice spots. Theres one place thats so fancy that they have homemade pickled gizzards on the salad bar and you can order a side of frog legs with anything off the supper menu during Lent.
Until then all I can suggest is a brandy old fashioned and dreams of open spaces full of fresh dairy air.
"It isn't every day somebody moves into a new house."
Why would she be responsible for what wild animals do?
