Granny's gone and done it again

You do know I am a giant baby wimp about killing anything.

I think this is a fairly young one, not very big. Small legs. Not worth the effort.
Have you eaten frog legs? How do they taste?

Like chicken.

Leopard frogs are pretty! I'd consider keeping one of those around.

Don’t they use the bull frogs up in the frog jumping contest in Twain Harte.?

The mass one way exodus from CA has left UHaul very short of rentals here. It is ridiculously expensive to rent one way out of state, but you can get a great deal coming into CA to drop off.

My first EE sexed pullet cockerel was named RuPaul!

I would love to see your hummingbird feeders. If they work well I might do some.

Wishing, did you find an air scrubber ?

They had them at Costco.

I have been trying to get a grocery cart . It would make things easier bring the grocerys in the house. One trip up the ramp !

They have those upright carts with 2 wheels.

All my years in CA, I have never seen one of these. It has quite the ugly mug.

Had to look it up. Camping will know what it is. A bullfrog! Over the years I have heard them in the neighbor's little concrete pond, but never seen them. I thought it was kind of cool. Oh boy!! Another froggie friend to join the treefrogs! Mugsey has already made herself at home.

But then I did a little more reading about bullfrogs. They are not native to CA and incredibly invasive... responsible for threatening many of our native species. They put those big mouths to good use and eat whatever will fit in... including other frogs!!

Mugsey is now in a plastic tote in the garage, awaiting her fate.
But what should I do?

Wait! Found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithobates_clamitans

on my second wad of gauze. They look like red, wet tea bags when pulled out.

Nasty, isn't it?

Hahaa, yea like I'd ever pick up, move and start over at my age.

I picked up and moved, starting all over again last year. And did it all by me lonesome. A bit at a time. Where there's a will, there's a way!

well took less then a 1/2 hour. 2 teeth removed and stiches in the one. Was 399.00 after same day payment.

Dentist looked at me and said no smoking for 4 to 5 days. I laughed and said "yeah right like that's going to happen"

Icing my face off and on.

So glad not only to hear you went, but you survived! If there were any fillings in either one, make sure you start taking iodine to clear your body of mercury that was released.

Every time we move we say it will be the last time. We lived in Nova Scotia, Florida, Tennessee and now Virginia.
