Ceramic frog


What does a frog order at McDonalds? 
French Flies
Why did the frog croak?
Because he ate a poisoned fly.
Are you thinking HOP IT! about now???


This frog is 14 long and 10 wide, about 8 inches high and on the bottom it says To HeyMom, Love David and Janice. My sister in law made it for my Mother years and years ago. Maybe 40 years. It resides in the leaves in my front yard. My brother always prefaces Mom with Hey Mom and that is what they called her. I brought it here from Savannah in April of 1990. I have no idea why, but it might be I thought it was a prince and needed to kissed. I placed it in plain sight of the road, just in case Snow-white came along and kissed the apple out of his mouth...

Wow, he is an imposing guy. I think he was toad to wait there and doesn't like it. I love the story!! And he looks in great shape! Especially the deep, glistening green.

That is cute. When we lived in Canton, there was an ice cream place called Frosty Frog and they had the "toad" parking sign!

He's a handsome one. I wonder if he was a prince in a previous life. Love the one about frog parking. I put that on an index card when I was doing my index card art.

When I went to the library today, I was surprised to see a frog in one of the books aisles. She kept repeating, "REDDIT ... REDDIT ... REDDIT ..."

GOD BLESS.

That story about the frog is to quote my Daddy, fine as frog hair. Not sure where that saying came from and I've never been close enough to a frog to be able to see if he has hair.

After all this time, and Mr. Froggie looks so clean and shiny! I can't help but wonder if your Cuban Tree frogs wonder if they're not kin. :)

I hope you're feeling lots better today!

Wow it might be old but it looks new. So pretty and such a nice thing to have in your yard that belonged to your mom. I am hopping on out of here now.

There’s nothing wrong with having a frog in the yard, Sandra, as we have one outside our apartment entry. It used to be in the front yard at the VA house and relocated to NH with us.
