Verdigras Frog

It cooled off nicely last night to the low 60's and today is only supposed to be 85, about 10 degrees cooler than what it has been. The reprieve is nice, but tomorrow it's going right back to the 90's. The cooler weather brought the cardinals out to play and they were having a good time in the hibiscus hedge - a male and a female. The Frog Wrangler is so oblivious to things these days. Her sight and hearing might be almost gone but her sense of smell is fully intact. She went out and didn't see the cat sitting at the base of a tree some 30 feet away. But her nose went into the air and she sniffed and sniffed. The Wrangler looked right at the cat but didn't see it - until it took off running. The Wrangler, in her younger days, would have wanted to give chase. These days she was happier to just come back inside and take a nap.

This frog item is a Verdigras Frog that I received as a gift. It came from the What On Earth Catalog. This frog is a shelf sitter and he's playing a violin. It is quite heavy. It was made in China. I do not have a date for this item.
