Frog Welcome Spring Sign

Up and around early today. My back is feeling a bit better but think I'll still forgo the apple festival today. The Frog Wrangler had a good night and was happy to crawl into her chair and lay on her favorite afghan. She has not felt well enough to do that for a while and so it's good to see her happy and content. I listened to NPR this morning and they had a story about an a capella group that sings Hindi folk tunes to popular American music. The announcer gives the impression that this a unique phenomenon, but I would beg to differ. The use of the Hindi language may be new, but Canto-pop has been a long standing tradition in China. They sing Chinese lyrics to American pop songs. The use of popular tunes with new lyrics extends well back into Baroque and Classical music. Lecture over - on to today's frog........

It's fall and therefore time to think of spring! This frog sign welcomes spring with a tulip, watering can, and butterflies. I found this item over at Sprinkle Gifts. It looks like a really cute item.
