Ribbit

We recently saw a program on television about frogs. It discussed why the species is important to our eco system and how they are in danger.  Hayden, our bleeding heart, promptly drew a picture of a frog and asked me to help him spell, "Frogs are dying!  Save the frogs!"

It was fitting that a few days later, we should happen to meet a little frog friend.  The boys were playing in the backyard.  I opened the umbrella by the outdoor table so I could sit in the shade.  As I opened the umbrella a blob-like shape seemed to fall from inside the umbrella onto the table.  Once I regained my composure, I noticed it was a little frog.  We had fun watching 'Little Critter' and Hayden felt relieved having spotted this special creature in our own yard.
