I think the frogs are singing in response to the rainspout, which has been dripping at a steady rhythm onto something loud below it for the last five hours, at least.
It didn't wake me up. I've just been up all night perusing tealit.com for affordable motorcycles and private English tutoring jobs.
The tutoring job market is vast but each individual opportunity is a small number of hours per week. To make decent money at it, I'm going to have to find multiple pupils per week, which means I think I might need a scheduling book. Fortunately there's a bookstore near where S and M work that sells stacks of crap like that, adorned with whatever variation of adorable as suits your fancy.
The dogs are competing with the frogs now. They started howling, but they couldn't keep it together and it degraded into barking. The dogs are louder of course, but after about a minute they get tired and the frogs resume their contemplative chorus.

frogs singing is a good omen
Depending on who you ask, they could also be harbingers of evil. Lovecraft was fond of that interpretation. It seems mostly to be a turn-of-the-century changing of the superstitious guard though, as Europe moved from pagan to Christian in the more rural areas.
However, I now think that some, if not all of the frogs are actually birds that sound like frogs.
So...shrug.
You know you're important when you need a schedule book. :D
