Yet Another Encounter with Nature

So....in the past few months that we've lived here that it's actually been warm enough to go outside, we've have had baby ducks, dead and live rabbits, doves, and tonight...6 frogs calling our house their home. Enough of nature for me!!! I'm almost ready for it to freeze again and all of nature to vanish for a while. Frogs freak me out! We were in the back yard enjoying the nice cool evening when the kids noticed a frog in our window well. For all of you Texans, a window well is where the windows are from the basement with a ladder should you need to escape a fire or something like that. Basements are cool, but sort of freak me out. Window wells definitely freak me out, especially when there are dead rabbits or living frogs in them!!!
We had some plastic grocery sacks that had blown into our window wells and with the rain the other day, there was some standing water in the bags. Some nasty slimy frogs had made those wet bags their home. A family of 6 frogs to be precise! Brett climbed down there and put them in a box and I insisted they find a new home by the wetlands. We walked accross the street to the wetlands area and set them free. Cade was insistant that these are Gods creatures and we must be kind to them.

Mom, notice the Priority Management box. Brett has had that box for years and keeps his golf balls that he hits in the backyard in that box. The golf balls in the backyard is a whole other blog. Anyway, the box has been laid to rest now that it has been home to 6 slimy frogs. Now if only the golf balls were laid to rest!
How would you like that thing living in your window well? We checked our other two window wells on the side of the house and there was one dead frog in one of them that we left there as it was getting eaten by maggots. Lovely! We will be getting window well covers soon!
