So, today was my birthday. It did not begin with a bang (yes I am resorting to sexual double entendre), nor did it end with a whimper ( oops I did it again ), but it did start with a frog.
As I sat on a step in the backyard, a frog decided to come and sit beside me. It took him several attempts to scale the step but he was resolute that frog. He made it on the fourth attempt and after hanging by one little frog hand and causing me to wonder if I should give him a boost. Realizing that he might take my hand around his legs as a sure sign of imminent dismemberment....I left him to his own determination. Determined he was and, after finally securing his position next to me, he sat blinking at me with an intensity that made me wonder if I had a bug on my forehead that his laser-whip frog tongue would soon consume. But no, he apparently just felt sociable.
So, it was my birthday, and it was really just another day but hey.......a frog thought I was pretty damn approachable. Things are looking up.
