Animals -
I have been looking for something to post about for a few days so I thought I'd post this! (Please note the frog above is not the frog that I am going to tell you about. These were brown.)
Day before yetserday I was in my room taking my shoes off from just being outside when I heard my mother calling me. So I ran to the kitchen (which leads to the backyard) and asked her what she needed. She said that my grandmother needed to show me something so I ran back to my room to put my shoes back on again. Then I ran outside to see what she needed and there was my grandma kneeling down and looking at something in the grass. She told me that she had thought it was a bug and that's exactly what I thought it was until I went over and looked and there in the grass was a little brown frog! My grandma said that my dad was mowing the lawn and the little guy needed to be saved because they didn't know that they should get out of the way. So my grandma asked, "Are you afraid of him?" and I didn't hesitate to say no. I scooped the little frog into my hand and could feel him trying to escape but I had to hold onto him. Just then while my dad was mowing he called me. I ran over there to see what he was needing and saw he was pointing at another larger brown frog. At that moment I didn't know what to do. I couldn't possibly hold both little frogs at once because they were so squirmy! Me and my mother looked at each other with questioning glances and both thought that there was no way to catch him. Then my mother had an idea. My grandma said she'd watch the frog and me and my mother ran into the house as fast as we could and looked for something to put him in. I tried to find something while still holding the first frog in my hand and then my mother grabbed a wipe box and wiped it out and then I put the little frog inside it. Then I ran outside to get the other one. After chasing it around the yard for a few minutes I scooped it up into my hands and tried to quickly put it into the box before the other hopped out. And then at last! They were safe. There was no more panicking (chasing frogs). I went into the house to show my three brothers and to hold them in the box until my dad was done mowing the lawn. And then when he was done I went outside to release them. I asked my grandma where to release them and she said in her garden (yes we have our own garden now!) because they eat bugs that are harmful to the vegetables. And so I did.
Thought I'd post that since I had nothing else to post about lately. :)
We have a lot of animal's around here now. We have frogs, cardinals, mocking birds, Turtles, little snakes, rabbits and dragonflys that are the size of a baseball! Why just the other day, I went outside to feed my cats and I saw a little lizard underneath the cardboard on our backporch. :) Simply wonderful. The only problem is that everytime I come outside I get bitten by mosquitos and chiggers! I had so many bites when we first got here that I think I've actually become allergic LOL. Hope you enjoyed the post!
