I love your frog – he looks so relaxed on his LilyPad. Its weird, I am usually in the country for the majority of the year (as you know) and we have lots of frogs as well as toad. But, I guess they don’t look for mates, or have found them because sadly I never hear their dulcet tones. I love the end of the day too and that is exactly what I do. Goodnight to everyone, all devices off and restful, peaceful time with our family (Doug and our two cats Sunny and Tiger) begins. Have a lovely evening <3

We have a small pond across the street from us – no bullfrogs (though we see one occasionally) but little tree frogs that begin their mating songs in February. They put crickets to shame, and their music is lovely. I always worry that they won’t survive the cold weather or it will put a crimp in their mating efforts, but so far they’ve been here the whole 32 years that we have. I’ll really miss them when we move to Florida.

Very handsome bullfrog, Charlie!! Spring is definitely in the air!!

Hey Charlie now that makes me feel like getting a sketch in before I crash witha book. I hope the rain leaves. One May it rained Every Single Day and the branches of the locust trees in front reached out so far they appeared to hold hands along the street. Next year there were too many spaces between branches in their stretching. Happy evenings over there!

I love ypur Bullfrog, Charlie.

I’m a bit late on my reply, but hola mi amiga! What a sweet thing to say! I’m just so happy we all found each other as well! 😃💕 And I adored your description of the twilight sky…. that’s so lovely. And if you can see it that vividly, then nothing much has changed. The memory is still there for you to visit whenever you like! And the sky still waits to be adored! Much love to you my friend!! ❤️

Hehe!! Thanks so much, Fanna! 😃💕 Thrilled you enjoyed my little froggy!

Hi, Marisela! You have a fantastic day as well!

And you too Marisela.I an well thanks and always wonder how you are doing.

Oh Charlie this is so delightful. I adore the way the squirrel is wrapping his tail around that apple.
I love that about you – it is so cool to know that there is someone out there who gets as excited about seeing that first bud in spring that I do. oh oh …. and our nesting boxes are starting to have activity. I love watching the fat little sparrows wiggle in and out it gets me giggling every single time I see it – as if I have never seen it before. I’m sitting here with a silly grin just thinking about it. I love watching the birds bring their twigs, strings, bits and bobs and loving building their nests. Those are the things I love about spring. :).
Never stop reaching for the shiny things Charlie :). <3

One of the things I really dislike is having a project I’m not really into while meanwhile, more interesting ideas are popping up in my head, and I really wanna do those instead. All to often, if I feel I have to finish the first project because of deadlines, I’ll lose interest in those other ideas, and I always feel as though I missed something.

Great doodle, Charlie. I’ve seeing new buds on all of my shrubs in the garden. That makes me really happy.

Those first little green buds and a sunny sky are most definitely energizers. Even here in Florida there are definitely signs of Spring: new spring green leaves on the trees, Royal Poinciana trees are canopies of golden yellow blooms and even my little 4 o’clocks are starting to bloom. Love Spring!

Hola, mi amiga! 😃💕 I missed you!! And that’s too funny… we had the same relationship with squirrels trying to keep them of our tomato plant. They don’t even like tomatoes… just to taste them and throw them down! lol Sending you love for Gordo! And a huge hug to you and much love! ❤️

Thanks so much, Louise! 😃💕 Oh wow! That snow doesn’t want to leave it seems! We barely got any snow this year here. I actually missed it! 😊

Hello, my friend! 😃💕 I hope things are going well in the jungle and I can’t wait to see some pics!! Much love to you! ❤️

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕
