Yesterday I was a tad pissed off. Well actually I was more than a tad pissed off I was bloody irate. My child had been insulted and “The Lioness Within” was having bit of a stretch and showing her teeth.

This morning it was all good. The blogosphere had rallied round, Points had been made and spleens had been vented. Thank you very very much…

I would like to give these flowers to everyone that commented here or on Veronica’s post. Woohoo!!

Or if you are allergic to flowers there is always the Rocking Frog Star award. Because seriously you are all Frog Stars and you rock!!!

Take one, Take Both… Seriously take them both… I am going to be a grandmother again in Late January or early February. So I am in an exceptionally good mood today..

Cheers Kim

Yay it is Sunday again and apart from today being Mothers day it is also time to go over and visit  Lotus The Amazingly Sarcastic Mom.… YAY….    My  next post will be my 200th. I don’t have a clue what to write about at all. So any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Frog Ponds Rock!!!

A Frog Pond, Full of spawn.
Another pond.
Yet another pond.

I thought that it is probably time that I explained my choice of name for my blog. Most blogs seem to have pretty self explanatory titles. Such as Why bother? Sleepless nights or Sarcastic mom. Mine is Frog ponds rock… Mmm a new type of music? Rocky frogstars? Wobbly ponds?

Frogs are under threat.They are rapidly declining all over the world. Whole species of frogs are just vanishing. pffft just like that. Gone. Our grandchildren wont be catching those tadpoles. So I decided to see if I could entice a few frogs into my yard by making a frogpond. I used one of those clamshell sandpit thingys and it worked a treat.

So now, in some circles I am known as the frog lady. I was the one that could be relied upon to supply the local Kindy with tadpoles (whilst my son was at primary school at least.) Unfortunately with the fungal chytrid disease affecting frogs in some parts of Tassie I am all the more aware of the importance of making my garden a frog friendly space..

YAY FROG PONDS ROCK!!!!!
