Frog of the Day

Int. Playthings - Leaping Frogs

We had quite a nice rain overnight. Not an all out downpour, no thunder and lightning - just a gentle rain. The cardinals were all excited this morning and although I didn't see them today, yesterday morning they were in the hibiscus hedgerow. I can't wait to see some baby cardinals flying around. The lawn is looking as nice as can be too. I had it cut earlier this week and he cleaned up all the twigs and leaves from the winter. Now a good soaking rain and it's just as green as can be. Even though this cold snap did in the flowers that were in bloom, spring is still coming on.

This frog item is a fun game from International Playthings, Inc. It is called Leaping Frogs and what you do is set out the lilypads with numbers on them around the froggy trampoline. You then toss your bean bag frog onto the trampoline and try to get the frog to jump on one of the lilypads. If you make it, you get the point on the pad. A lot harder than it looks! This game dates to 2003.
