Nancy and I hiked to the top of the hogback behind our house this morning. Just in case you're wondering, we go to church on Saturday night. Anyway, we enjoyed a 4 mile hike and then a rather steep walk up to the top of this.
While we sat on top of the mountain and ate our apples, this little guy came right over to say, "hello." Or, maybe he wanted a bite and someone to talk to? For some reason we ascribe to humans many of the characteristics of animals: he has a memory like an elephant, eats like a horse, is as fat as a pig, and can be as sly as a fox. Since turnabout is fair play, we have managed to lay a few trips on animals by giving them human characteristics. Many of them even have human voices. I know, I've seen it on TV.
On the walk back to our house we walked by this little lake. It was filled with noisy frogs. A cat may have nine lives, but a bullfrog croaks every time!
