Mmmmm....Butter!

At least that was the intention of this post! You see, August is a good month. I take vacation....it's the month before the kids go back to school...it's not too hot...the garden starts giving forth...it's all good! And... I get to indulge in butter! Lots and lots of butter! With the the green beans and zuchinni and the corn on the cob!!! well, you know....you have to have butter with all that goodness!

But I absolutely have to tell you about this instead.

Driven in from the outdoors by the horrendous mosquitos out here in north country, we are left to amuse ourselves. Some of us watch TV. Some of us take a nap. Some of us do the dishes and the laundry. I really have transfer some of this domestic goddess crap over to somebody else around here! Anyway, I was matching up socks and heard #2 say "MOM, come here, quick! You gotta see this."

I come into the living room to have him and SG point this out to me.


A tree frog.

On the outside of my living room window.

All I could think of was "THANK GOD!! it's on the outside."

They grabbed the camera and must've taken 20 pictures of this damn thing.


Various angles.



And then, get this, they came looking for a jar! You are NOT! bringing that thing into my house!

I lost. They did.

And I was forced to look closely at the tree frog in the jar. I told them that the pictures on the camera would be sufficient, but they weren't letting me get away that easy.

I better not be dreaming about frogs tonight....if I do, it'll be payback time.
