So we keep discovering these different animals and species around here. I swear, we do NOT live in the boonies. We do not live near a forrest. Maybe we're just far enough off the beaten path (but really, not by much) that we get to see all these animals.
We have the funniest little green tree frogs that bark like dogs at dusk. It's funny. The first night I heard it, I thought we had a hurt puppy under the deck. Ivan kept saying it was a frog but it SO didn't sound like a frog. Finally on the third night, we were on the deck again and the sound started again. I went over to the sound and lo and behold, there was this funny looking little bright green frog on one of Noah's inner tubes. It was making the oddest and loudest sound. I threw him off the deck and later that night, we heard it again and there it was by Noah's sand box.
Now that the poor snake is dead, there is no one left to eat the little frogs or salamanders we see all the time. See how the food chain works? You upset in just the slightest way and bam.....it messes everything up.
What will be the next animal we discover? I can't wait to find out. All these creatures are beginning to be the 'comfort of home' for us. Noah loves it all.
