Excited Frogs

Hi! I'm BoRock. I share this blog with my friend Ebenezer. We are leopard frogs living by a pond. We like to sing, travel, swim, catch bugs and sometimes just sit and croak. This lady friend of ours is writing a book about us. Mostly she tells the truth, but sometimes she exaggerates. The picture shown here is what we really look like. If you happened to get a Christmas card from her with two frogs with Santa hats, don't believe it. We would never wear any kind of clothing much less Santa hats. She doctored the picture without our permission no less! Croak!! Anyhow, our first book is coming out this spring...my favorite time of year. It is exactly what happened when Ebenezer wandered into my pond. I can't believe how narrow minded I was then. I mean, what if I hadn't let him stay. I get teary eyed just thinking about it.

Hi! I'm Ebenezer. This is my favorite picture. I think I look particularly dashing. My objection to the Christmas card was the line,"He loves all creatures, even those, who sing disharmony." I can't believe she wrote that. I mean, we are really great singers, if I do say so myself. I was a little annoyed when I read that. She explained that she put it in because 'disharmony' rhymes with 'glee'. The Santa hats don't bother me so much. I mean, anyone with half a brain knows that frogs don't wear Santa hats. I didn't think it was necessary though. I kind of get the feeling that this lady is being led along by her materialistic nature. I've heard that there are people like that. But we put up with it for a reason. We have a message to get out to the world and she is going to write down all our adventures just like we tell her. In spite of everything, we are excited about our book. It's called, "The Great Leaping Race." I have to admit that it isn't the most exciting of our adventures, but it is the first.
