NOW I've seen everything!

THIS IS AN OLD POST, REPEATING TO SHOW THE FROG IN THE SINK ... wth?

I've seen so many things here that I'd never seen in Oregon, I thought nothing would surprise me anymore. We have lizards that patrol our bedroom, looking for bugs, and I'm ok with that ... now. Seeing them race across the room catching and munching on creepy, long antennaed critters is actually a comforting sight. When the lizard scampers across my feet it does make me scream a little ... but I don't totally freak out like I would back in the day. I've seen big ol' centipedes ... probably my least favorite creature here, but as long as they stay out of the house and immediate yard, I'm ok with their existance.

This morning I was greeted by a frog in the kitchen sink, I did not expect that. I could understand if it was one of the small tree frogs that I've encountered when gardening, but this was bigger ... much bigger ... about 20 times bigger and getting bigger by the minute. I really wish I knew where he came from, how he got there, and if he's coming back. I need closure!
That did NOT come up through the sink pipe, way too big for that. Must've somehow journeyed through the house ... ugggghhhhh ... hope it ate lots of bugs along the way ...



Additional note: no frogs were harmed in the making of this 'blob' entry. Senior Frog was set free in the front flower bed.

I think the frog is kinda cute, looks like he's smiling ...

Time flies ...

Six years ago I packed up my worldly possessions and moved from Oregon to St. Croix.  HOLY COW!!!

My-oh-my ... time sure does fly.
