Came home this evening. There's a green blur in the air, but not so fast that I don't make out the graceful leap and the outstretched legs departing from a wet spot on a rock beside the small front yard pond. Yes, we now have a frog living in the front yard pond once more.

Despite the cool weather, we still have a frog sticking it out in the back yard. We're supposed to get a frost within a week so he probably won't stick around much after that.

We've been seeing the wild rabbit more often in our yard. He could be getting used to the family as he doesn't take off running like before. Instead, he tends to hop over to the nearest flower bed where the flowers are dense enough to hide and just wait there until we leave.
