I must have gotten a little loud, because hubby came out sleepy eyed and wanted to know the joke. I read it to him and halfway through he was laughing. I think there might be a few toad ornaments in your future. Amelie will remember this Christmas forever. Wishing you and your's the merriest of holidays and much joy and creating in the new year. Pencils are sharpened, new journal purchased, and I'm ready when you are. Cheers! (I now have the desire to bake mince tarts. I didn't this year as my Dad passed and he was the biggest fan of them. Have to keep the traditions alive, I guess.)Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055713076518794844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580784877583104334.post-14816867090991717362015-12-21T19:12:14.150+00:002015-12-21T19:12:14.150+00:00oh thats made me laugh, what a story.

I began by thinking what a good idea the pond was (we do have one) and ended by reading the whole thing to my husband who said I must add our frog story. It does not have Christmas in it though. Our house is built into the side of a hill and the spare room/study has small high windows at the level of the back garden. We never open them but several years ago my sister came to stay and knowing she likes fresh air we did. When she came to go to bed there was a frog posed on her nightdress on the futon. Her first reaction was that my husband had played a practical joke on her but no. Getting it out was not easy. Pick it up in a tea towel, carry it upstairs avoiding all cats and then out into the garden which is at first floor level. Although it was summer it had been very wet so I understand your problem! I hope that after all that you have a lovely toad and frog free Christmas.reensstitcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240482617783139942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7580784877583104334.post-32885707012262077052015-12-21T18:12:47.985+00:002015-12-21T18:12:47.985+00:00You couldn't make it up could you!

My morning cuppa (sans mince pies) was nearly my demise as I giggled at the mind pictures created. I believe it must be one of "Murphy's Laws" that such lights react in such a manner. Maybe it's that somehow they 'know' when they are placed in an ascending vertical pattern as opposed to the comfortable mass on the carpet.....just a suggestion! The toad/frog experience could have been something from our early years,here on our little slice of MN rural heaven. I loved every word and thank you for a magnificent 'day-brightener'!!!
