On the Sidewalk
Okay, okay so I've been a slacker. It has been almost a week since my last post. We seem to have fallen into a rhythm here. One that involves walking downtown to the library every few days, getting ice cream and skipping rocks at the creek. The kids and I will go exploring a bit in afternoons. It has been raining a lot, and Adria has been babysitting in the mornings which will end this week. So stay tuned for longer adventures like visiting the Ben & Jerry's factory.
We've recently observed a number of frogs on the sidewalks. They are always belly up, all stretched out and flat and dehydrated. There must be an excessive amount of frogs in Vermont plus a large amount of bugs(Colin found a blue, fluorescent fly) for them to eat. I'm not sure how they end up squished on the sidewalk. It's not like a car drove across them. Did that many people not see the frogs and step on them? Pedestrians do have the right of way in Vermont, and it is a state law that you must stop to let them cross. I think the frogs need better lobbyists.

I am laughing so hard picturing a frog lobbyist in a three-piece suit complete with a pocket watch. Ahh, my jaw is hurting from the laughs!
Maybe they died from eating too many flies! How about some pictures?
Oh how I miss good ice cream. Go ahead and visit Ben and Jerry's...and then rub it in. ( : MJ, I don't really want pictures of the poor frogs....
There seems to be a lot of things either belly up or smashed flat around there. It must be all the, what's that stuff called, oh yes water that comes down there to provide plentiful life. Not so here in the desert.
Your Vermont adventure sounds amazing. Just enjoying being together without all of the hassle of being at home with a million projects to work on. Total Bliss.
