We walked in late in the day on Sunday only to find the grass almost knee high and needing to be cut and my big male bullfrog bloated and floating in the pond--needing immediate funeral services. Add to this fun, I have one load of laundry in the washer, one in the dryer, and one more waiting for its turn as I type this. Sometimes going away for the weekend is more work than fun--don't you think?
So, while I'm full of great memories from the weekend, I'm feeling like the squirrel right about now--surrounded by loveliness, but feeling a bit overwhelmed--like there is a big, giant cement column overhead.
I've got a few stories, but I need a day for mourning. (Well, that and to get all this crap from the weekend put away.) It's always sad when I lose a frog--especially a croaking male. I really hate it when the pond is silent, you know?

Rest In Peace dear froggy!!!
I hope the rest of your week goes nice and smooth Lin!

Bull E. Frog, RIP
May you have a wonderful week, Lin.
Yes indeed. Poor froggy - (a croaking male who croaked??)
So sorry about your froggy pal. :( I'm glad that your weekend up until the return was great though!
Ugh, I think I now understand the urge to clean things before going on vation. I always thought it was so, if robbed, the robber doesn't leave thinking we're slobs. It's so it's easier to deal with after coming home...
WHAT is the WORLD is that monstrosity?! Totally cool!!!
*Just* 3 loads of laundry? (playing violin). We are family of 6, so you can imagine....
So sorry to hear about your frog! :(
I actually heard peepers last night so I am pleased as punch.
Goodness that is so sad about the frog. We are so sorry and sending hugs and purrs. Sounds like you have a lot of stories to tell us too. Take care.
Poor bullfrog.
I always need a bit of a rest after any kind of vacation. It really can be exhausting
Awh. RIP little buddy.
Catherine--I'm going to work to REST! Hahaha!
Vanilla--I wish they'd go somewhere else to die. Blech!
Grace--Yeah, kinda sad. I still don't know what happened to him. Either way--it's not pretty.
Liz--Oh, the weekend was GREAT! It's always hard to come home though--lots of work.
Silver--I always clean before I go because I hate coming home to a mess. It's bad enough that we bring so much in! Yuck. I dread the work.
Rebecca--It's art on Col's college campus. Isn't it cool?! You should see it in the snow--it's lovely. Never got that shot. I don't remember seeing the squirrel when I took the shot. We don't have peepers here, but I wish we did. Although it would give me more to worry about!
Marg--It's always sad when we lose a frog. Sad and gross. Blech!
Ann--It IS exhausting. All that packing and unpacking. Gotta clean the car....ugh. I need a maid for trips.
Nancy--The weirdest thing is that I'm not sure he was MINE! After we had his services, I counted and saw all my frogs still in the water!! I have no idea who this was!
Poor frog. Things can only get better now though.
Hmmm... Why did the bullfrog croak? At any rate, bummer.
