The Standoff!

  The yard work continues!  Since Son is putting a loft in the shed and is busy from sunup to sundown, I have had to do my own construction for the gardens.  Yep, this old lady put in the fence!  I am happy with the results but have made a huge discovery.  Old ladies and post hole diggers are not compatible.   Never in my life have my arms felt so much like dead weight as they do this evening!  But...like I said, the fence is installed and I am happy with it (and all its imperfections).  

  I did have one encounter while clearing the area for the new garden fence.  A folded tarp had been set aside about a week ago and needed to be moved yet again.  No problem.  I would just grab the thing and move it myself.  As Pop used to say, "A little work never hurt anyone."  So, I grabbed but then felt something wiggling.  I dropped the tarp and pondered if I had inadvertently grabbed up a snake in the process.  The tarp was slowly unfolded to reveal my critter.  A frog stared at me with huge eyes.  Froggy was nervous about the giant (me) but was also refusing to budge.  I suppose the tarp had served as a warm spot for a few days and Froggy was not happy being disturbed. 

  Since a frog is not on my list of "no likes", I told it that the Frog Pond would be a much better place for it.  Obviously, Froggy agreed as it allowed me to catch it, tote it around back and rehome it with any further ado.  I am not sure why Froggy had decided the garden spot was a good home but do hope it will pay a visit now and again to eat the bugs that munch the plants.
