There is a stone frog I hang on our storage shed, along with antique tools and other oddities like an oxen yoke. I love the little froggy guy though, because he reminds me of lazy summer days. I should take him down in winter, but there he stays. I think maybe he brings good luck – a kind of gargoyle/monster protector. There used to be such building adornments long ago that supposedly protected against evil spirits. Sure, I know it’s just a storage shed, but I figure the froggy’s power extends to other outbuildings – like maybe my home!
On the day of our big snow, I wandered over to pay my respects and there he was, doing his job protecting us from evil spirits. Only this time he wore a winter hat and scarf! It was as if he was laughing at me. ”You forgot to take me down and now it’s winter. How do you expect me to protect everybody if I’m freezing, huh? Summer is gone so I had to have a scarf and hat!”
Awww, I love your froggy
. I will have to show it to Daniel because he loved anything to do with frogs when he was a little guy, and his room is still decorated with frogs. Oh ya, he’s 16 now, so I guess maybe it’s time to redecorate. That’s what he keeps hinting at anyway LOL!!
I thought it was so funny the snow fell on froggy like that – looking just like a hat and scarf. Glad you like him. Hope Daniel does too!
Cute picture! I have a few of those lawn “ornaments” that I don’t bring in during the winter either…
I noticed that you had commented on a recent post on the blog “A Hundred Years Ago”. Sheryl had “liked” my Friday’s post, so I clicked over to visit her. What a neat idea for a blog! I’m trying to go back and read all her previous posts.
A Hundred Years Ago has become one of my favorite blogs Dianna. I’m so glad you found it. It just seems to bring the past alive!
Looks like those British lawyers and judges who wore the white wigs.
LOL! You are right, but then there’s the scarf and hat image….. everything’s in the eye of the camera holder!
Love your froggy and the fact that he is protecting you and yours. Take care and keep warm Dor .:D
Thanks Judith! Froggy’s doing his job and even brought us a few balmy days right after the big snow. The sun managed to melt everything post haste.
