Call my cruel and inhumane, but I removed a bullfrog and a cute, painted turtle from the lake at my parent's cottage to the pond in my backyard. I couldn't resist having an amphibian and reptile hanging out in my backyard oasis. They were easy to catch--just went out in the paddle boat with a wee net. I feel slightly guilty about removing the bullfrog and turtle from their natural habitat, but I think what I got going in the backyard is pretty swank and I will be providing tasty feeder goldfish and turtle food if the critters decide my accommodations are suitable. The bullfrog already popped out of the pond and hopped around. I hope he sticks. The turtle is obviously not as mobile, but I'm sure he can escape the area too if he puts his little turtle mind to it. I just hope I see them around tomorrow because I didn't get any pictures yet...dang!
It was a nice little visit up at the cottage. I slept really well and got to sleep in because my kids weren't waking me up at 6:30. I miss them though. Think I might go see The Great Gatsby tonight. Seeing films are another one of those things that you can't do as easily with kids.
Happy Memorial Day.
