Boys and frogs


In wetter times, frogs like this are plentiful in our yard.



We found this frog under the the base of the basketball hoop.


As mentioned in a previous post, during wet years we have an abundance of amphibians. This year is dryer, so we are seeing more lizards around the house. But that doesn't mean the frogs are all gone. When the weather gets wet, the frogs come out. There are also a few places in the yard where we have found where the frogs like to hide. One day while I was moving some things around, I discovered four of the frogs hiding under the base of our portable basketball hoop. Mason begged to go back a few days later, and that is when we discovered this frog. It seems that we had scared off his other friends the last time we had been in to look.
