Frog for Frank

It's been a cold February...and Spring (TX) has been very cold as well, but the greenhouse has been a winter haven to at least one visitor!

As soon as I took this photo, he leapt into the cage of seedlings. I think there may be more than one occupant, as I saw an anole too! What a happy place. And yes, that is a garden gnome in the photo...I bought it in The Netherlands...too cute (I thought so anyway)!

Frank...let us know when your frogs return. It will be like the sparrows returning to Capistrano (I actually saw them in high school when they came in by the thousands....amazing!)

so nice! I love these little green friends!
Thanks a lot for sharing.
For sure i show You new pics, when they dig themself out.
But in this night we will have -12Ã¯Â¿Â½C. That means, it will take more time.
I think, minimum one mounth more.
Best regards

Lookin good Kristi.
Maybe we may be through with the freezes. Capistrano's a great place. Good restaurants in the area.
'Lima' is blooming away.

I love the frog Kristi! I have already started to get a few that are getting into my pond. They are enjoying the nice weather here this week.

Kristi, I can't believe you still have frogs this time of the year! Mine left a long time ago. He must really be confused. Ha, ha.
