A look at my frog collectibles as I get them and my wacky world in the meantime.
It's a beautiful day here at Frog Central and the Wrangler and I are going outdoors to enjoy it!
Monday morning and already the day is busy. I've spent the morning trying to find a new doctor after the big Frog Central move. It's time for the Frog Wrangler and I to take a break and have some tea!
It's been a quiet Sunday morning, doing all the usual relaxing Sunday things. Was a little disappointed that NPR had a guest host for their morning show. Now it's time to clip coupons and get ready to go shopping. The weather here is a little chilly today but the 5-day forecast has two days with 60's listed! Oh happy days - the frogs will be hopping for sure.
It's Mardi Gras season - so dress up in feathers and furs, go out in the backyard and go wild! Hey, if nothing else, it gives the neighbors something to talk about. Forgive me, I did not get much sleep last night. Just drifting off when a skunk decided to camp out under the bedroom window - for most of the night my eyes watered as I tried to smother myself with my pillow!
Time to get ready for the weekend - sit back, relax, and watch some television! Could she be any more comfortable?
It's Friday and all I can say is thank goodness! It's been a rough week and I think Flo here and I are going to find a nice inner tube and go floating somewhere!
Don't worry - be hoppy! It's Thursday and after a night with the heating pad and some very strong pain killers I'm able to stand up - always a good thing! Thanks to all who wrote me wishing me well. And I also love hearing about your froggies as well - a lot of new people are collecting Sprogz and looking for older ones. My advice is to keep looking at E-bay and also check out collectible stores that don't have their inventory on the web. Sometimes it's just going to be you walking into a store and finding them.
Oh what a day it has been! In the midst of running some errands I heard a loud popping sound and my back gave out! So I've been sitting in the car trying to decide how I was going to get back in the house. Thank goodness for heating pads!
Don't you just hate that after-holiday stupor? I mean all that eating . . . er, drinking . . . um, what does one do on president's day?
Happy Holiday! It seems like I just said that last week - oh wait, I did. Well, with today's we won't get any mail so no new froggies will arrive today. Guess I'll go read a book - what page was I on again . . .
It's a lazy Sunday morning - just finished listening to NPR's Sunday Morning Show and now it's time to clip the coupons from the paper and get together a shopping list for this next week. Pretty exciting stuff, heh?
Wow! Where did the 60 degree temps go. Today here at Frog Central the temperature is 7 degrees with a wind-chill of 10 below. And it is not expected to rise at all today! I'm late posting this morning because I didn't want to get out from under the covers - and when I did I found we got nearly 6 inches of snow!
You didn't think I forgot did you? Well The Frog Wrangler wasn't so sure, that's why she's reminding me here to get blogging! Oh, and that those toys belong to her. Nag, nag, nag - you think by now I'd be properly trained. Hey wait a minute - that's now how it's supposed to work . . .
Friday and oh what a difference a day makes - Frog Central was pelted with hail for about a half hour last evening (no damage noticed, thank you) and then thunderstorms and tornado warnings! It was crazy to be sure. And the teperature dropped 40 degrees into the 20's. I don't think this weather can get any crazier.
It's been a tough morning here at Frog Central - the call is for rain, thunderstorms, and high winds. It was a beautiful 60 degrees here yesterday. Although I wasn't able to get any after holiday sales at Walmart! Oh well, I still have Halloween candy anyway.
The after glow of Valentine's Day. Actually I'm going to Walmart to check out the deals on day after candy!
Happy Valentine's Day! Hop on the frog and ride down to Kokomo.
On a cold morning the Frog Wrangler and I just want to curl up and go back to sleep. But since it is supposed to be near 50 degrees here today I guess it won't be that cold - up and at 'em!
Sunday and snow! Only about a 1/2 inch here at Frog Central - not the feet of snow like the East Coast. The good news is that it's supposed to 50 degrees here on Valentine's Day!
A cold, gray Saturday and the anticipation of snow hangs in the air. It's a good day to stay inside and play - with blocks?
So the Frog Wrangler has had a tough week. First she was sleeping in her chair and rolled over and right out onto the floor. She spent the rest of the night in my bed crying with a sore paw but with one of her pain killers she was better by morning. Then I told her let's go for a ride - her favorite thing to do. And lo and behold don't we make a stop at the local vet where she gets her yearly shots and her nails clipped (her most unfavorite thing in the world!). So here she is after spending about 10 minutes bawling me out for sitting in her chair when she wanted it - so if I wouldn't move she did the next best thing and just hopped on top of me. Hey, I am her favorite pillow after all!
Well I ran to the store last night because the weatherman said snow and well, running to the store is the proper response to snow isn't it? So no snow yet, but we're supposed to get it this evening. The cardinals in the yard really stand out against the snow but the albino squirrel tends to disappear (although the Frog Wrangler still seems to locate it somehow and goes charging right up to the end of her leash!).
You may have heard the news of the "Lost World" found in a remote area of Indonesia. Among the finds of animals who were thought to be extinct and some just plain unimagined were 20 new species of frogs! Let's hope that the human race can do better in protecting these rare treasures.
Woke up this morning with a headache so bad I didn't think I'd make it to the computer to post - and I don't normally get headaches so I've got to whine even more about it, you know. But the Frog Wrangler is persistent about wanting to go out!
It's snowing! Frog Central is supposed to get an inch of snow and the way it's coming down I wouldn't be surprised if it was more. All we can do is wait for warmer days when we can go to the beach - froggies, it's not going to happen today so you can go change now.
Thanks to Kathy for bringing us the Frog of the Day today. Frog Central is always happy when new froggies arrive!
Monday morning and a busy week planned at that - today I'm off to the old Frog Central site - I just want to make sure no froggies have shown up there looking for me!
As I said earlier, the Frog of the Day from yesterday got lost in a blogger hiccup. This little guy is from Hagen-Renaker and is known as Papa Frog. It is a very small frog less than 2 inches long! A cute little collectible that I purchased last year when my favorite collectibles store closed their doors.
Blogger apparently had a hiccup yesterday - it was unavailable for quite a bit of yesterday afternoon. Glad to see that it is back, but in the process it lost yesterday's Frog of the Day! I'll repost it today.
It's game day and the snacks are ready to go! Frankie's already in front of the television.
The Frog Wrangler is not happy! She heard the horrible news about drug smugglers surgically implanting drugs into the stomachs of puppies. So she's keeping watch and ready to pounce if they should try it again!
Well if you haven't heard the big news - Snohomish Slew, that famous frog of Ground Frog Day came out to see if Washington state would have eight more weeks of wet soggy weather or if they would have eight more weeks of wet soggy weather. See, it doesn't matter if he sees his shadow or not - it's still eight more weeks of wet soggy weather!
It's a rainy, gray day here at Frog Central. The Frog Wrangler and I were up early but figured today was a good day to hop back in bed and dream of frogs!
It's the first of February another beautiful day here at Frog Central. It feels like I should be spring cleaning but it's still winter - and who wants to clean anyway!
Over 20 years of collecting and still
love the froggies!
