It rained all night and our snow is mostly gone. Now our world is all heavy gray and deep water-soaked browns with a few leftover sad splashes of white. So instead of anything serious this morning I have decided to share this happy frog in the snow I captured on Thursday. I just feel like something light and cheerful to start my Saturday!
I hope it makes you smile and brightens up your day as well. Enjoy!

Thank you Terrill…….he’s such a smile-worthy little fellow!
This morning, sitting with a warm soy latte, watching our little wind tumbled hummingbirds sheltering from the weather in the bougainvillea vine outside our window. They’re preening and stretching, as if they’re dancing with the wind. It’s a good day 🙂
Seems like it is Colleen and thanks for sharing your coffee-sipping view!
It may be grey but there are so many edges of light. The sun is trying to reach us. Today is full of potential. : )
That it is Leanne – one never knows….
Terrill – Lovin’ your Happy Frog!
SPROUT: Where are you finding something to brighten up your day today?
Each of my clients today has been a ray of vibrant sunshine 🙂
That sounds like a perfect Laurie Buchanan Saturday to me!
He looks as if he could use a bit of sunshine’s warmth 🙂
I suppose winsomebella but he is hearty frog and use to our dreary winters on the coast. Sun should be more plentiful by March.
Love that frog, sprouting there in the snow! A great way to start a Saturday. I found something to brighten my day today at the Portland Art Museum… A couple of hours of looking at art, always a good thing.
Oh that sounds like a great time Kat! I have been to Portland to go to Powell’s Books six years ago for my sweetie’s 60th birthday. But we didn’t get to the art museum. Maybe another time.
I would say the photo of your frog brightened my day. lol I will get ready for bed with a smile on my face. Goodnight, Sis!
Hope you had a good sleep Sue and will catch you again soon 🙂
Oh, Terrill, thank you! You can not know how he brightened up my day today. I am traveling tomorrow and there’s all sorts of challenging possible weather situations, and I am nervous. Your frog has lightened my heart. I am smiling.
All the best on your trip Kathy! I only took photographs from the porch today with all the wind we have been having. Power is still on though so all is well.
Ah, Terrill, we’ve had the white stuff too in an overnight snowfall on Friday into Saturday. That cute photo of the frog is just what the doctor ordered! Ha! Today I have a sore throat, but am functional. As to today for that spark I am turning in a usual direction. We have the silent film festival tonight at the Film Forum where a charming 1928 comedy by King Vidor and starring Marion Davies is being screened. Lucille and two of the boys will be coming along too.
Oh Sam this seems like a perfect cure for a sore throat. Do enjoy and I am sure we will hear more about your adventure at some point on Wonders in the Dark.
We have a meditative Buddha frog just now emerging out of the snow and a very dignified cat who is coming out from beneath the cover all moldy green..
Love your smiling fellow! Thank you for sharing
You are most welcome Patricia and thanks for including your snow covered critters in your reply. I am sure my little frog will enjoy the company.
