Bullfrog

It is just past 6:30 p.m., and I was going to jump in the car to take a ride. In search of a picture...any picture.

3-4 days ago our neighbor had brought us over 2 large bags of rasberries. I whipped up 2 cobblers with a buttermilk biscuit topping on each. I went next door to give her one. I asked her if she had seen any frogs in her little pond. She told me to go look.

I rounded the corner of their house, and this beast of a frog tried to jump up on 3 bags of dirt that were on their sides. He didn't make it, and came to rest on the ground next to the bags.

Isn't he a monster? I hope I don't have nightmares. I am not a huge lover of frogs. I told our neighbor that she should catch him and a couple of his cousins for a nice meal. She could at least take one of his huge legs, and I could make him a little crutch to get around with. (Sorry-old comic strip.) She said she wouldn't do that.

So,...I got my picture of the day. She said I should come back and get a picture of her snake. He usually takes a long break on those bags of dirt. I really don't do snakes, even the garter snakes. I hate them worse than Indiana Jones. Now...I'm sure I'll have nightmares. I better think about sleeping in the spare bedroom. I lash out with both my hands and my feet when I have bad dreams.

I went back over to the neighbors because I wasn't thrilled with the pictures. The mammoth frog was nowhere to be seen. I looked for the snake. I wanted to see if he had what looked to be a GIANT wad of gum in his snake-mouth. Didn't see the snake, either. If Sammy the snake found and ate Farley the frog...he wouldn't have to eat for a week. Maybe a month.

MONDAY NIGHT SPECIAL at the FENTON HOTEL. ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT JUMBO FROG LEGS....$ 16.50. I'll pass on the dinner...but I wonder how much they would pay me for Farley and a couple of cousins? ($$$$$$$$$$$)
