Before I blog anything I must say how good it feels to be blogging. whew! I miss my wittle bloggy world!
Here is Luke, my little prince charming... Only that frog is not quite the princess, and I think we've got this backwards?! So, what in the world does this adorable photo have to do with the title of my blog? Well, glad you asked... Living in a new development, there is still much that is undeveloped. Across from us is a big empty hole and right now it serves as very many things. During the summer it's serves as a little pond for the ducks, and occasionally a swimming pool for the neighborhood dogs. Lord knows what else lives in this muddy mud hole. But I can assure you, I won't be finding out. ? With our rain storm yesterday, brought out some familiar green slimy friends that we had a problem with the first winter we moved in ( almost 2 years ago) I will add that the problem then was not as bad as the one we had yesterday. The rain came and these guys came out in full force, let me tell you!
We've been infested with frogs!
As you can see some aren't quite as large as others. They varied in size I had only seen one huge one, and he seemed to be the smartest of them all to keep cover!
Here he/she is hiding under the basketball hoop, he was pretty big, thought it's hard to see with all the babies surrounding his/her body.
I'm afraid to report that these little green slimy guys didn't stand a chance against the traffic that comes down are street. To be honest, we live on a dead end street, so the only traffic that passes are those that live down our street. But with the looks of the street now, and all the frog remains that are waiting to be washed away or pounded deeper in the pavement with passing cars, it's quite devastating. I think we lost half or more of the frog population in our little "pond".

We even had some friendly ones who came right to the porch to visit!

peek-a-boo!
We dedicate this post to all our green friends who lost their lives to the cars of Hetch Hechy Dr.

You know, your frogs are so much cuter than ours! They've got some good eatin' from whatever is stewing in your lake over there! Ours don't sit up like that and aren't nearly as "green" as those! Yes, I'd be afraid of those things... do they stick to your front door too, and try to hitch a ride in? We have frog poop on the stucco. Lovely. I can't imagine the graveyard on your street!.. And here I thought Kermit died of Swine Flu!!!!
