Yesterday when Pasiano and I were madly carrying plants and planting them, I asked Yolanda to clean off  the ledge of the wall between my neighbors and me that usually holds pots of plants as well as stone sculptures.  When I came up from the garden to collect yet another plant to plant, I noticed that just one slab of slate was still on the ledge, so I removed it and set it on the slate deck below.  I had only gone a couple of steps when Yolanda called out for me to come back. When I turned to do so, I saw her pointing at what I thought was a leaf stuck to the side of the wall, but as I got closer, I saw exactly what it was!

It was a tiny gray tree frog no more than 2 inches long, clinging to the side of the wall behind the piece of slate.  I quickly replaced the slate but an hour or so later came out to photograph him/her, then quickly replaced the slate.  That evening, I check again and this is what I saw:

So sad to lose my little neighbor.

This experience, however, put me in mind of another experience Forgottenman and I had when he picked me up iat the airport n St. Louis to drive me to Morehouse, where he lives. For that frog adventure, go HERE
