Frog Prince

It actually stopped raining long enough for A and the boys to have some Jedi battles in the back yard, and for me to plant some of my tree purchases. I planted two peaches, the pluot, and three pears. Now I just need to plant the apples. I told A's Italian grandma about my tree purchases, and she confessed that she would dearly like to have a fig tree again, you know, the green ones that are red inside? and that she had a gopher cage ready to go. Of course I went right out and bought one. It was purely self-serving, I'm afraid. The nursery employee went out into the yard with me with a flashlight.

I was dropping off a tub some months ago, and one of my clients had a ring tone that was a frog chorus. I've coveted it every since. A set one up for me today. I thought he would go find a ringtone. Instead he used a recording of our native chorus frog. Awwww!! Now my phone sounds like this:

Now it just remains to be seen whether this will successfully wake me in the middle of the night.
