Happy Earth Day! It's a lovely day here at Frog Central. It's supposed to hit 80 degrees. I've got all the windows open and enjoying the fresh air. The Frog Wrangler is working overtime running from window to window to make sure she can keep track of everything that is going on out there.

I read an interesting article on global warming yesterday that maps out the next hundred years and what can be expected if we do not change our ways. It is not a pretty tale to be sure. This morning's paper had an ad that I thought was interesting. If everyone bought just 1 compact fluorescent light bulb - just one! - it would be the oil-burning equivalent of taking over a million cars off the road. It may seem that it is an overwhelming problem - but it can be tackled by everyone doing small things.

This frog item is from BlueHandworks and is Frog Prince Lantern. There is a small door in the back of the frog that opens up so you can insert a tea light candle. The metal sculpture has holes punches all throughout it which the light of the candles shines through. This item was handmade in Indonesia and dates to 2002.
