this is my hand....
notice the one with lots of spots???
Doing things like this has always been second nature for me, even as a small child I remember talking all the other small children into catching tad poles because we would be able to raise frogs from them. The other kids were not sure if they could trust me or not but by golly clomping around in the stream sounded like good fun anyway.
We caught the tad poles in paper cups and raised them into frogs in an old claw foot bathtub in the yard.
The was dirt, plants and an old cake pan full of water. When the frogs got big enough we covered the tub with screening to keep them in and to keep the stray cats out...I do not know what ever happened to the frogs, I moved back in with my Mom.
Chasing ladybugs makes me feel like a little girl again...that and the musical laughter in the air as it was being done. I love springtime and am awaiting the butterflies.
xxoo
PS: Go watch this Utube about Patrick and Patti! Really, since we didn't do the MS walk this year I did not talk it up like I usually do. I could not do it because on the Saturday it was held I had a T-ball game and a baseball game to go to....And a birthday party to throw.
Anyway, go watch this, it is funny and sweet.
