Frog of the Day

Boston Warehouse - Frog Candle

It was a wild ride last night! About 6:30 the sky went pitch black, sirens started wailing, and as I ran around closing windows I saw the tree in my front yard - a very tall maple about 30 years old - bend over to touch the ground. As I stood there amazed at what I was seeing (stupid thing to do when the tornado sirens are wailing, I admit) the electrical lines along the street started glowing green. That got me moving to the basement. Of course it was all over by the time I got down to the basement, but the power went out and was out for about 4 hours. All part of living in Illinois. Since they're calling for the same weather this afternoon, I plan on being a little better prepared in the basement - water, flash light, something to do.

This frog collectible is a candle. It is from the Boston Warehouse Trading Corp. I've had this candle in my collection for a long time, but I do not have a specific year.
