I have always liked frogs. When I was a kid, I remember catching a big brown toad and bringing him home. I named him Barnabas David (yes, for those of you who remember, the name did have something to do with Dark Shadows). Well he hopped away one night, and I never caught another toad after that. I used to try for tadpoles instead. You can't find tadpoles anymore, not like you used to - in little ponds or freshwater streams, they're all gone now, the ponds and streams that is. We had one mature in our pond last summer...so obviously something went one in there. I wonder if he will still be around this year. Anyway, just take a look at this little guy above. He is one of my special garden friends.. just waiting to get his spot at the pond this spring. He is just crying out to have a name and so far he his nameless. He is just plain Frog. Take a good long look at Frog and tell me what you would call him if he lived in your garden.

Well I like the Dark Shadows reference, Barnabas-I remember, but for your little cute you need something sweeter! Happy-Hop-Along, Hoppy for short, that's my suggestion to you.
