A look at my frog collectibles as I get them and my wacky world in the meantime.
Sunday and time to relax and enjoy the company of friends. And today the Frog Wrangler and I are expecting company, so the frogs are warming up to provide some entertainment....
Saturday and it is a dreary day here at Frog Central. A little rain last night, but they are calling for a lot more over the next 2 days. No sitting on the bench in the yard this weekend.
It's a tough job keeping all the frogs from hopping away, but the Frog Wrangler is up to the task. In the midst of her afternoon nap, she quite often picks her head up to peer around to make sure everyone is where they are supposed to be. Personally, I think she keeps looking at her blanket on the back of the chair and wondering when I'll take the hint and give it to her...
Decided to sleep in a bit this morning after a busy, busy week. And a cold one too! I had to turn back on the heat as daytime temps are only in the low 60's. The Frog Wrangler and I are going to go curl up and keep warm!
I've decided to take a day off and let Robo-Ribbit handle things today. See you all tomorrow.
Today's a bit hurried - I'm heading off to the vampire's lair to get drained. And I had to not eat or drink since last night, so afterwards I'm going out to breakfast!
Yesterday Blogger was down most of the day, today Flickr - the site that holds the photos - has been having problems. Well, that's the way it goes with technology. In other news, we got some rain last evening. I was sitting in my chair with the Frog Wrangler when I heard the rain starting to fall. So I jumped up, ran around and closed all the windows and as I pulled that last window closed it stopped raining. And yes, as I opened up the last window it started again...
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down... That's how the song goes. And today it is a bit rainy and supposed to get a lot worse this evening. Thankfully it's a bit too cold to spawn tornadoes.
It's Sunday and I'm going to keep this short and sweet so I can go read my paper...that is if the Frog Wrangler will let me have my chair!
It a cool saturday morning but supposed to warm up. I spent last night in the cellar cleaning and organizing - the lack of good friday night television. Anyway, I thought today would be a good day to show off the elusive green Fruggy. Thanks to all those who responded to my requests in looking for this little guy.
The Frog Wrangler has had a busy, busy week. With all the windows open, she's had to take time to run from one to the other to be sure no frogs were getting away. So here she is, doing her favorite thing - sitting in the window, resting her head on the window sill and keeping track of what's going on outside!
Friday! Another week comes to a close. The Frog Wrangler and I had a busy week and looking forward to a quiet weekend in the yard - maybe Mrs. Mud Hopper will help us out...
Thursday morning and another beautiful day. The Frog Wrangler and I are enjoying the spring weather and airing out the house. Nothing like fresh air to get you into the spring cleaning mood...
Went around and opened up the windows this morning. It's a little cool yet this morning, but it's supposed to be high 70's today and tomorrow. I decided to skip the whole toaster pastry this morning and opted for juice instead. I couldn't handle another morning of the Frog Wrangler laughing at me....
A friend of mine says I have to write this stuff down - personally I think she just gets pleasure from my pain. When I went shopping yesterday I picked up, on special, a box of toaster strudel pastries. So this morning I wake up and think hey, that would be great. So I get the toaster out of the cabinet, plug it in and pop the pastries in, and push the button down - not realizing that the light/darkness button had slid all the way to dark. Ugh! So while my struedel is fast becoming charcoal I turn to the little icing packets. There is one packet for each icing. They come in a big strip that is perforated (for your convenience, no doubt). So I rip off two - one for each of my charcoal briquettes. Then using scissors cut off the little tip and I'm now ready to salvage what is left of my disaster of a breakfast. What I didn't realize, but soon found out while squeezing the icing packet, is that in ripping it from the strip, it ripped into the side of the packet. So a good squeeze put more icing in my hand than on my blackened pastries. Oh, it's been a good morning!
I bet your thinking he overslept, blogging so late in the day - but in reality I've been up since my usual 6 a.m. I hit the grocery store first thing this morning and well, that's a three hour prospect. But hey, I saved fifteen bucks with my coupons! That makes the hours I spend clipping, sorting, and pulling my hair out at the supermarket all worth it.
Happy Easter! Hopefully the Easter Frog came to your house last night and filled your baskets. I know I am going to enjoy the large chocolate frog in my basket. The Frog Wrangler had some tasty frog biscuits awaiting her. Now it's time to put on my Sunday best and head into town...
The Frog Wrangler has had a busy couple of days with all the windows open. She's had to personally check each window repeatedly. Hey, she has to let me know if someone's entered the three-block radius known as "Shadow's Domain." But by this morning she had enough and returned to her favorite spot. But she's sleeping with one open just in case....
It was hot one here yesterday - topped out at 92 degrees. I almost turned on the air conditioner, but ice cream was an acceptable alternative!
Wow! Friday already. This week has flown right by. And with the weather topping out at 86 degrees today I thought along with hot there should be a little spicy...
Wake Up! It has been beautiful weather here - mid 80's. It's been nice to open up the windows and air the place out. The Frog Wrangler has especially been happy about the joys of receiving all the spring smells. So Wake Up! and enjoy.
It's going to be 84 degrees here today. I've hopped around the house and opened every window I could. I guess the rest of the day will be spent trying to get the rest unstuck!
For some reason I think I'm going to go out shopping today....
I stayed up late last night - I like that show Grey's Anatomy. So I slept in a little this morning. The Frog Wrangler let me sleep until 6:38 instead of getting me up at 6:30. Hey, those 8 minutes were heaven!
Just to let you know - I know it's last minute, but Kermit the Frog is the special guest host on Extreme Home Makeover this evening.
It was cold here at Frog Central this morning and good day to stay in bed, under the covers, listening to the radio. Although it's cool today, the weather is finally supposed to be in the 70's for all this next week. The frogs around the pond are a hoppin' with joy!
I have to say, when things are in plastic it is really hard to get a picture! Well the Wrangler and I got up early today - already did a bit of cleaning. Today plans to be a busy one. Today the lawn gets mowed for the first time of the season. I'd say that means warmer weather is finally here to stay, but tonight there are frost warnings!
I didn't do it. Really. She looks so pathetic like she's been caught with her paw in the treats jar. But that's not the case, she was sitting up being all majestic and waiting for me to snap the photo and I snapped it as she was getting tired of waiting for me. So maybe the caption should be - Would you come on already!
It's Friday. And the storms threatened for last night fizzled and it's a bright sunny day here at Frog Central. A good day to go run some errands so I can have a nice quiet weekend.
Last night was an exciting night of The Amazing Race. I love all the scenic places they go to. Let's all take a nice big leap across the pond and visit some ancient ruins.
It's pledge week at NPR so don't forget to call and make that pledge to help support independent radio and television. I have to hurry this morning because I have blueberry muffins in the oven! The Frog Wrangler is sound asleep in her customary place - having found a rabbit in her yard this morning gave her the momentary vim and vigor of puppyhood. Now she's resting up from that bought and probably will be all day!
It's going to be a cool day here at Frog Central and hopefully weatherwise, a calm one. Already the warning are starting for this next weekend to be as bad as this last Sunday night.
It was a wild night here at Frog Central - more bad weather and unfortunately this morning the news is reporting quite a few deaths and a lot of destruction. This has been one of the wildest springs I can remember since I moved to Illinois.
Did you remember to set your clocks ahead? I have a couple yet to do, so half the house is the right time, the half not - the tough part is remembering which is which!
It's finally the weekend and the Frog Wrangler was up early this morning and wanted me to be up early too. Oh well, I can always take an afternoon nap!
