Huh. I never heard of a poison spring. I wonder what that could possibly be; not the sort of thing you expect in MT. Tho I did find this... in rather an unexpected location:

Back in the two-lane era I knew the people who lived in the westernmost cabin at Chestnut, cuz one of my dogs came from them.

What is the Frog? I went looking for it, and found this!

The frog is that formation on the south side of the road. I've always heard that on the last day of the earth the frog would hop to the next ledge.

There are always springs popping up, some of them are seasonal during runoff, and some can be contaminated or poisoned by what they're running over or through, and then disappear when the snow or rain is gone. The formations in Rocky Canyon are limestone which is a water soluble rock formed from calcium on the bottom of an ancient sea bed.
Who knows what could be locked up in there from Permian times?

All I know is what she told me about it.

She was born in 1895 and passed in 1991, so who knows what might have been in that Canyon in the early 1900s.

Yep, flowing water can do that, just can't think of anything that would concentrate enough thereabouts to poison a horse quick enough to notice. Tho might be some mineral salt horses are sensitive to that gets shoved out of whack.

Frog, eh? Our lot have a fine imagination.

If it's the last day of Earth, will that ledge above be there to hop to??

It's not my legend. Somebody else came up with that one.

Hmm. Maybe we should edit it. Turn the frog into a toad and see what happens.

Robins arrived yesterday... didn't see 'em clear (they were busy in the trees) but they were singing like crazy, thoroughly pleased with their world. Wonder why I never see 'em arrive?

The Canadian bonkers and wild ducks have been showing up in clouds lately. Never seen so many this early.

Kind of sad seeing them sitting on frozen over rivers and ponds because the ducks can't feed through the ice.
They aren't any better at predicting the weather than that woodchuck.

Maybe they used him as their travel agent.........
