For those of you on Splitcoast, you know we had a major crash on Friday night. The following was to be my post on Saturday morning, but I just got back into my blog. Email subscribers stay tuned, I’m trying to work on the feed and see what’s up! Anyhoo,
For the past week, every time I walk out the front door with the puppy I’ve been hearing a funny sound. It’s coming from the pachysandra along the front walkway. At first I thought it might be a baby bird that had lost its way. But no, the noise sounds more like a chipmunk or maybe a baby squirrel. It’s one of those things that peak your curiosity, but yet you are afraid to really look for fear of what you might find. I’ve poked around with a stick, moving back the ground cover but I’ve never seen anything.
Yesterday we had a nice size storm. When it was over, I took the puppy out and while she was running around and playing, I decided to pull a few weeks. I went to the end of the sidewalk and was pulling up a small tree when I pulled up the bottom branch of the azalea and look what I found!
After doing a little investigative work on the web, this is the culprit behind the noise. I’m still not sure what type of frog this is. I’ve pretty well eliminated a tree frog and I’m thinking more of a marsh frog based on the noise it makes. There are a few ponds close by and with the dry weather we’ve had, I wouldn’t be surprised if the creatures that live there have gone out looking for new homes. So if anyone knows anything about this frog, I would surely appreciate knowing what type it is.
Now I’m heading to the studio, locking myself in and stamping. Deadlines are looming and I am so very far behind that it’s not even funny.
