Oh Frogs...


Oh the humble frog with it's humbelly, spirit of rain, goddess of the moon, Tlaltecuhtii earth mother! So nice to hang with you here my friends. As I am donning very best frog face to greet the hopping people,  Note: doing the frogs lips make your nostrils huge. Every time I look at that image, I just see these giant nostrils. The sacrifices one makes for the toad souls! You'll have to click on the pic to properly appreciate the DemiToad's nostrils~
 
 After my post a week or so ago, I kept checking back but no one posted. So I decided not to wait any longer, to do a new post and just see what happens. This me at one of the garden centers posing with the frogs. I have this friend who loveth the frogs, you know who you are! so naturally the frogs, they called to me. And I called right back!

It's still raining here. The ditch digging has been stymied by the rain. Playing with the dog was a giant failure and I am now meditating on his puppy happiness! Things are humming or rather dripping along. I know I said I wanted to be in Oregon, But this with the endless rain and terminal drizzle is so not what I had in mind. 

Somebody's chickens flew the coop. A pair were last seen sauntering down the sidewalk heading for towards Walgreens. I hope they know what they're doing.

How is everybody? I am doing better and better each day. As are the mosquitoes! They're in fine form, fit and ready to go. I was looking at bat houses cause I read somewhere that bats eat lots of skeeters. Who's got rain?  And who wants some?:

 The Aymara tribe of Peru and Bolivia made small frog images, which they placed on hilltops, to call down the rain.

I'm wondering if there's a sending it back,  like 'talk to the hand' rain or 'get thee hither to a dry spot' rain. Surely there is. And it must be easier than calling down rain, right? I mean this rain's already here. I should be able to just skooch over it. Shouldn't I? Who wants some rain?
