The Adventures of Frog and Toad

It was a warm September evening, yes we have them every once in a while in Michigan, and the kids were all sleeping in their beds. Beth went out to water the plants and who did she find? She found long lost "frog." You see, frog has been living in our pond since we moved in, he even wintered somewhere in the pond and surprised us all when after the pond came back to life so did he.

Frog could often be found sitting, sunning himself on a rock and would just watch those watching him. But, several weeks ago it seemed that he had been replaced by a smaller version who didn't care much for being watched. So, imagine Beth's surprise when she spotted him sitting atop a rock this evening. Now, if we only knew where he had been...maybe looking for toad.

Toad.....he must have been away with frog. Toad was found near the back of the house and had been missing for ever so long. Beth spotted him as she was watering other flowers. She didn't expect to see anything as the lighting was poor, but all of a sudden, there he was. Now, as we all know, frog and toad usually travel together. So, perhaps frog went to look for toad and was working on coaxing him back to the pond.

Who really knows where frog and toad went for this adventure...we are just glad to have them back in our pond eating bugs!

The pond....although we don't have the fountain...that was just used when the pump broke. There are 7 fish in there to keep toad and from company. One, lovingly named "fat albert."

Cubs "looking at the fish."

Cheddar taking his turn "looking."

Thanks for hearing about frog and toad adventure....hope there is no more chapters to this one!
