May be moving to Oregon

These Pacific Tree Frogs are always in my yard, and their singing is the first sign of spring.

oh that is a great picture. Our frogs are much smaller, I'll try to get a picture. - maybe someone will know what kind they are?

okay, just found this on the web - this is what ours look like, maybe not a "tree" frog ?? they are very small... and tend to spend time in the leaves or for some reason our porch!

and heres the kitty I trained to water the plants, he's very strong!

I love the kitty! Such concentration! Where did you find that pic?

Re: frogs...here is a page about the frogs of Oregon. I think your frog may also be a Pacific Treefrog, but just a smaller one.

Frogs and kitties and cinnamon rolls, oh my!

Thanks Beth!!!!!

lol, I think I just googled "funny kitty pictures" and up that little cutie popped. Sorry it's been around a while, so I don't reember the exact website.

Thank you for the info on frogs, I think you are right!

Well, its supposed to be 66 and sunny today, I think I'll plant all those daffys and alliums sitting on my dining room table.

RTP, that's what I have, too. Little green frogs.

Redtootsie,

Your frog definitely looks like a tree frog.

I was going around saying to my DH how I wanted a frog, and within a week I found a tree frog among the borage and tomato plants! So cute. Tiny! I have not seen him or her again, but now that I know he's out there I am content :)

I tend to see them when I mow the lawn (probably scares them) they hop up next to the house. Or when I'm hacking something (when I cut the raspberries back) they are soooo teeny tiny, very cute.

Wasn't it beautiful yesterday? glorious day!

Hi RTP, I just noticed the note to me about the picture with the fog! Kinda slow sometimes. ;-) Yes, we stayed in this house for a week! It belongs to my sister-in-law and her brothers. It's in Cannon Beach and we sure didn't want to leave.

This was the view from inside.

This is why we want to move there.

Oh Lovely !! Cannon Beach is great - nice she has a house right on the beach, thats hard to find there these days. My DH's grandfather built a house right in front of Haystack Rock waaaay back in the olden days. He sold it a few years before he passed away. We all kick ourselves now that we didn't buy it up together.

That's what happened with this one. Her mother bought it in the sixties thinking she would move into it after an impending divorce. That never happened and the family has used it as a vacation home since then. The old house was about twenty years old when she got it and it has been torn down and re-built.

Good inadvertant investment!

Yes, indeed! I knew they had one but I didn't know what it looked like until we drove down the street and there it was! Here I was thinking of the old clapboard, single room houses they had in SoCal when I was a kid and then we come around the corner...

Anybody want a fun distraction? There is a Holiday Ornament Swap going on if anybody want in on it. Only a few spaces left. : http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/776148/#new
