I got up close and personal with our frog today. I went out to empty the drain baskets and he was sitting in one. And he is BIG up close, a bright pure spring green, like new grass, with black beady eyes that glared at me when I lifted the basket. He leaped into the air about eight feet, back into the pool where he sank to the bottom. He's still there hours later, squatting and sulking. He is very dignified, and I think I should call him "Mister" something, or even "Lord" or "Sir". It would be presumptuous to start off on a first name basis with a frog of such aristocratic and proud bearing. This frog would never "bloop".

<<I love frogs. >> I do too. I like toads even better. Each spring I trap a bunch of toad tadpoles and several frog tadpoles and move them to where it won't dry up. I've got a toad house but the toads like the drain pipes better. And a butterfly house in the butterfly plants. I do better with birds. All my bluebird houses were filled, about 1/2 with bluebirds and 1/2 with wrens. And I save ducks. Plus the barn was filled with swallows. They get used to the comings and goings and I can stand 3 feet away and talk to them.

I like frogs, too. Especially South American poison arrow frogs. My coffee cup at work has poison arrow frogs, and I've got a tee-shirt with them, and my umbrella, and my calender. But most important is the Lucky Frog who lives in my purse. Used to be a tacky gold-tone earring charm I found on the courthouse floor when I was waiting for a jury to come back, and the verdict was favorable. That one lived in my purse for years, but jumped out one day when I wasn't looking. And I've had a succession of Lucky Frogs, the present one is hand-carved of amber and lives in a black velvet pouch, still in the bottom of my purse. Don't leave home without him.
