A look at my frog collectibles as I get them and my wacky world in the meantime.
The Frog Wrangler is thoroughly upset with me. I made up the bed this morning, but not to her satisfaction. So once again, as she does almost every day - she has to show me once again the proper way to get those pillows and covers just right. It seems like after so many times of showing me that I'd finally learn!
Dear Diary - you wouldn't believe in a million years what happened today... HEY, it's not polite to read someone else's diary. Today's a real nice day here at Frog Central - it's supposed to be in the 70's and it does certainly feel like it.
Quite often I receive requests of help in locating specific frog items. I do my best to help out and to search all my contacts. But as they say, many hands make light work, so I thought as I receive requests I'd throw them out and see if between all of us we could find that special frog that people which people are trying to find. Who knows, maybe you will have a duplicate - or triplicate - in your own collection and wouldn't mind selling one.
It's warming up here at Frog Central but with that comes volatile weather. The problem with that is the local television stations interrupt every program you're watching with updates. Remember when an evening thunderstorm was something you went out on the porch and sat in those metal bouncy chairs so you could watch the lightning and listen to the rain bounce of the metal canopy overhang? I wonder why they sent me out there while everyone else stayed inside...
Watched the Amazing Race last night - I love that show. I could never do the race though (I mean other than I'm totally chicken about heights) because I'm too much of lilypad potato!
The Frog Wrangler decided to sleep in this morning (thank goodness) and I had to wake her up at 8 o'clock. Although happy to go out, she was happier to crawl back in her chair and on top of her afghan and go right back to sleep. She's not interested in the antics of these characters at all!
You don't know the meaning of pandemonium until you've opened the door and a fly comes in and you have a house full of frogs!
Sunday morning and doing all the usual stuff. I do have to say that the Frog Wrangler has been getting up especially early - I'm looking forward to the clocks hopping ahead. When it's not quite 5 a.m. and you look at that clock because the Wrangler is standing on top of you saying it's time to get up - it's just too early in the morning.
How's the song go - Come Saturday Morning - lalalala...ok, I know, you'd rather listen to a chorus of croaking frogs. Well it's a bit cold here for the spring peepers to be out, so how about the sweet tones of a froggie wind chime.
Ah, it's Friday. It's been a hectic week and hopefully the Frog Wrangler and I can settle down for a nice quiet weekend. The plan is to make some turkey and dumplings (yep, still eating turkey).
Today's a good day for running errands - the last of the snow and ice is melting away and so I thought I'd hop around town. Prince here is just begging to go along, but I think he better stay here and keep the Frog Wrangler company.
It's the middle of the week and wishing it would warm up a bit to melt the ice. I think it will be awhile before I can go floatin' down the river in an innertube.
Well lots of snow overnight and quite a bit of ice too - happy first full day of spring!
You put your left foot in, you take... oh sorry, I caught these frogs doing the hokey-pokey this morning and looked like so much fun the Frog Wrangler and I decided to join in. We need to have lots of activities to do because we are expecting a foot of snow tonight! Happy First Day of Spring!!!
Well the weather has shifted again and today they're calling for snow - measurable snow! This winter sure has been strange.
The weekend is here and time to get out and begin that yard clean-up. Spring is only a week or two away - bulbs are sprouting up - some daffodils are even in bloom. Frogs will be looking for mushrooms - hey these two found one!
Kiss me, I'm Irish too...hey, just trying to get in the spirit of the holiday here.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Ah, the wearin' of the green. It comes so natural to the froggies. So today everyone is Irish - enjoy the parade and be sure to kiss a frog.
I know that the boiled dinner of corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes is the traditional St. Patrick's Day meal but I decided on turkey. So today I'm cooking a 20 pounder - that should keep the Frog Wrangler and I for weeks to come! Thank goodness I bought extra stuffing.
Beware the Ides of March! Ceasar didn't and look what it got him - a salad named after him! Ha! Well all the talk is about the frog who is really a prince and so today I thought I'd mix things up and feature the princess!
Finally a nice, albeit cooler, day here at Frog Central. There are daffodils blossoming outside and the froggies are happy to get out into the sunshine and hop around a bit. Don't worry, the Frog Wrangler will keep an eye on them to be sure they don't hop too far!
Last night I was hearing preliminary reports of the damage that was being done by the storm - hundreds of homes, as well as a Kmart being flattened! They said that we received an entire's year of tornadoes and wind in one night. And the height of the season is 2 months away! Thank goodness Frog Central is safe and sound.
Well Frog Central is still standing. We've been having a run of bad weather here - and last night was the worst. The weatherman broke into programming to say that 8 houses had collapsed several towns over and it's headed right for you! Thankfully all the frogs are safe and sound and as they say - the show must go on!
The Frog Wrangler woke me up late this morning! Of course the thunder shook the house half the night so I was pretty tired. March has definitely come in like a bullfrog - just when will it switch to start going out like a tadpole? Yeah, yeah, all you lion and lamb people just get over it - were all frog all the time!
Oh not another picture. Ho hum. It's tough to be a star and have the cameras flashing all the time.
Well it's been lots of rain here and a whole hour of the tv weatherman last night. Remember when a springtime thunderstorm was just that and something enjoyed. Now it's a major news event!
It was a dark and stormy night here at Frog Central and the day doesn't look much better. But with all that water pooling all over the lawn ya' know the froggies gotta love it!
The thunder and lightning have finally calmed down a bit so I thought I'd hop on the computer quickly. The rain will be good for the bulbs that are peeking through the ground ever so tentatively.
Top of the Mornin' to ya! On St. Patrick's day we're all a little green. Froggies just get a little greener.
And the Oscar goes to ... oh, who cares. Maybe now the news channels will get back to real news. So I did a marathon grocery shop yesterday and I was glad to get the cupboards filled. I was getting tired of the Frog Wrangler referring to me as "Old Mother Hubbard" to all the fogs!
It's Sunday and looks to be a nice day. It's time for the Wrangler and me sit around on a lilypad and read the newspaper.
Well the skunk was back last night and it's getting a bit old! I was afraid to let the Frog Wrangler out this morning for fear of a day of tomato juice baths. Even the froggies are looking for clothes pins!
The Frog Wrangler is very protective of her toys. She doesn't want any of the frogs to go hopping off with them! So here she is with two of her three toys - and yes, she sometimes gets all three in her mouth. Standing over her leash and towel. I can just imagine her saying "Mine - any questions?"
TGIF! It's been a heck of a week. The Wrangler and I are hoping to spend a quiet weekend hopping around with the frogs here at Frog Central.
Well the warm weather is over and the wind is whipping colder north winds. But the exciting news is that there was an earthquake here at Frog Central yesterday. It only meaured 3.0, but who would have believed I moved over an actve fault line - of that one even exists in the mid-west!
It feels like spring with temps here supposed to be over 70 degrees. But it's not going to last - it will cool off for the weekend so I'm going to get out there and enjoy it while it lasts!
Over 20 years of collecting and still
love the froggies!
