Frog

This week, I'm on a mission to tend and spruce up the gardens (ever mindful of copperheads as I work!)  Today's job was a big one ~ weeding the vegetable garden that was overrun with a massive amount of tangled weeds.  It took me about 3 hours to complete my work, but now we have a garden that looks like a garden again, for which I'm very happy.  As I neared the end of my work, I discovered a frog who must have been making the weedy garden his home, or at least his hunting ground.  He peeked up at me and stayed valiantly until the last weeds were pulled.  The frog allowed a few photographs to be taken, and then he hopped over to the side garden where there is plenty of cover to keep him safe.  It may even be a better place for him to be than the weedy garden had been.  I hope so for his sake!
