Ah, a flash frog there. Nice one :-)

Jim said...

Nice going here today. I'll root for the'creative Freddie' and his friendly creativ author. :)

We have Mrs. Jim's family reunion on October 6 and just now she is making plans with our London daughter and three-year-old granddaughter (KP) for them to come here for that.

Daughter has to be back to work Oct 8 but KP will stay with us for a week. Then Mimi Mrs. Jim will go back and stay a week with her.

Me? I will stay home here with our dogs, cat, and the frogs.

Oh yes, Freddie will be the best-dressed one at the family reunion.
I also read the post below — congratulations to your son the soon-to-be-solicitor. Fabulous exam results.

INCANDESCENT is such a lovely word! It rolls around the tongue delightfully when spoken! I'm off drinking in the Pubs of Halifax tonight and will slip it into the conversation at some point!Check my blog tomorrow it might be included in an audio recording I'm doing there!!!!

Akelamalu said...

I'm happy to make you smile Misty x

It is a nice word. I'll be interested to find out how you slip it into your conversation Tony LOL

I would love a pet rainbow froggie like that... I did used to have a pet tropical water frog, that doesn't come out of the fishtank (so no platforms or plinths are necessary, he just swims with the fishes, or more to the point, hangs around the bottom like a miniature diver to shoot up to the top every half hour or so, breathe quickly and vanish back to the bottom of the pool...)
