How much rain did we get this past weekend?
This much: We have an arbor out by the chicken coop that is about eight feet high. On top of the wood slats of that arbor are five birdhouses, a few of which were there when we moved here, and a couple of them made by my husband.
When I went out towards the coop this morning (because the sun is shining and the rain has gone elsewhere) I looked up at the birdhouses and peeking out of one of them was a little green frog. He had to climb up the post and then walk across the wood slats in order to get into that birdhouse, and for a little frog less than three inches long, I'd say that was similar to a Mount Everest-ish attempt.
And a successful one. I don't know how long he had been sheltered in that birdhouse, but this morning, his little green head was peeking out of the little hole in the front and the sun was shining on that frog and he looked perfectly content as he watched me going back and forth to the coop. So comfortable was that frog that I was able to go into the house and tell my husband to come outside with the camera...... and the frog was still there, basking in the sun in his penthouse above the yard... living the dream.
