85° - heat index 94° [7:30 a.m.]
Friday morning, I took it upon myself to pull weeds out of the foundation rock beds. I worked in the shade of the house and a slight breeze kept it more comfortable. The ground was still damp from the rains this week, and I figured it would be a bit easier on me. Besides, I couldn't do much to help Bud, who was busy sawing the pomegranate tree down to the new growth. About 12-15 feet above the new leaves were dead, dead, dead, branches. And the 'granate tree wood is HARD wood! I felt I had to do something besides sit and watch his labor. Eventually, I had to run back in the house to get my cellphone...a little baby frog was entertaining me! Justa scootin' around the rock, hiding, appearing, and hiding some more. Before I finished the entire rock-bed, I saw six different babies! All about the size of my index finger fingernail!!! Cute as can be. One tried its hardest to jump from the bottom landscaping timber to the 2nd, but never made it up that far with its tiny legs, and finally gave up, and crawled UNDER the timber. Like I said, entertaining. Ya, I was called a cheap date, 'cause it never took much to keep me happy.
Look closely, they're tiny and well camoflauged at times...

Well just look at all of them. They would be entertaining.
ReplyDeleteIt was busy at times.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to have cut down these trees. We have so many trees around our house now, it is scary how tall some of them have grown. The frog is cute! Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great new week ahead.
There IS new growth...the tree isn't completely gone. But it will take years to get back to being a "tree" again.
DeleteLove the little frogs! How wonderful it must have been delightful to watch them.
ReplyDeleteIt was!!
DeleteHow charming! I'd have been entertained as well.
ReplyDeleteThey were sweet!
DeleteI would be very entertained by the little cuties too! Sounds like you two are getting lots done. Hope your almost finished, it's getting way too hot to be out there working!
ReplyDeleteYa, we are finally on the last stretch! Then, just normal upkeep.
DeleteThe little froggies are so cute and the red flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThey truly are cute!! The red flower bud is a new hibiscus to replace another.
DeleteThey are cute little guys. Your captures are perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Deletesome where on my blog I have a Froggy Went a courtin post or two or 3. your frogs are adorable. i am a cheap date too... we have tiny ones that can sit on a dime. we save them from the pool nearly every day. they crawl up the side but can't get out, the cling to our finger and we lift them out, any port in a storm. ha ha.. love your frogs and looks like a toad or two
ReplyDeleteBud thought somewhere toads also.
DeleteAwww, what sweet froggies. I'm easy to entertain, too. A ball of yarn and a crochet hook will do it. Or a cup of coffee and a patio chair to watch the cardinals in the back yard. ;)
ReplyDelete...a good book, silence of the day can please me too.
DeleteOh those little frogs are adorable!
ReplyDelete...aren't they?!!
DeleteMe too on easily entertained but actually it is rare to see frogs put on such a show so that takes it out of the "easy" category. Thanks for sharing those cuties with us.
ReplyDeleteIt was easy here!! At least THAT morning.
DeleteAlways nice to come across little wonders in the back yard! Great capture of these little frogs. I hope Bud wasn't too sore after all of that sawing.
ReplyDeleteHe was sore for a day!
DeleteAwwwwwww, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't have fun, watching them????
🐸😊🐸
DeleteLove the froggies..glad you could capture them. I do need to weed but it "ain't" gonna happen in this heat. I am thankful for the slight breeze this morning. Our "Granite" tree has so many suckers and has been so unloved for so long that I think it's on it's last gasp. We'll see what this season brings.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Sue
Ya, ours hasn't produced fruit for some time,but it's shade!
DeleteThey are adorable, and i would have been completely enchanted. They look mre like toads to me.
ReplyDeleteSome may have been.
DeleteSOOOOOOOOOOOOo cute!
ReplyDeleteyou sound so much like me, it don't take much to make me happy. :)
have a cool week.
That makes several of us today. Happy campers!
DeleteWhat a sweet post. Thank you. ❤️💕❤️💕
ReplyDelete🐸😊🐸
DeleteThose little frogs are so cute! You got some great shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks G M!!
DeleteThey are cute.
ReplyDeleteThey are!!
DeleteI like to weed just after it rains too - so much easier.
ReplyDeleteCute little toad - I'd be the same way wanting to take pictures of him. :)
There were several of them hopping around.
DeleteOh, they are cute! And I can see that they would be entertaining.
ReplyDeletePoor Bud - sounds like a lot of work!
It took a day for him to recoup!!
DeleteI love finding frogs and toads in the garden. And to have a wee little family. Well, you are one lucky garden gal! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey were so cute.
DeleteI'm a cheap date too, Anni. Those frogs would have entertained me to no end. And little Tan N. Baum is a darling fella! He looks like me around Christmas time, I love it so! ~Andrea xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLoL on the resemblance...lol
DeleteHappy Little Frogs - So Cool - Troll On My Dear
ReplyDeleteCheers
Cool indeed.
DeleteThese are great! I love frogs and they were very active the last time we went to the park. Always very entertaining. I keep meaning to say how much I enjoy your collection of trolls also :)
ReplyDeleteThey were adorable! And, thanks Denise.
DeleteWell I can't decide which is cuter, your showcased Troll or the baby froggies! Oh my, they are cuter than Christmas. How I love them! Thank you for sharing their adorable antics! All I got is those grumpy ol' toads here so seeing pretty frogs is a treat! Try to stay cool! And I battled with my pomegranite this past week, too. Frost had got the branches and it looked like heck, so it was also cut back to the new nice growth. But no pommies for me this year, boo.
ReplyDeleteI will have to buy some this year.
DeleteADORABLE and yes I would be on the same list as you when younger and pretty much the same way now too ;) We have had frogs coming up on our deck which is about 6 to 8 feet off the ground. Green frogs, Tree frogs and Leopard Frogs in past 5 days. Our creek is dry and they are seeking water. I am going to place some trays out with water for them~
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!
