Freddy the Greenhouse Frog Update 1
An update for his fans on how Freddy is doing October 15.
This morning I was watering my lettuce in the greenhouse and Freddy appeared! He looks to be doing well. For sure there are many less sow bugs, ants, and spiders in the greenhouse than there were. Thanks Freddy!
It is still fairly warm so he’s probably not getting ready to hibernate yet. However, if he keeps eating the greenhouse bugs as fast as he has been, he may run out of food. He’s looking a bit skinny in the preceding picture. I hope it rains soon so he can go back outside!
Our drought is continuing. Still no significant rain since about the third week of June; just about four months. So Freddy is sticking with the greenhouse were he can get water.
Here are a few more pictures of Freddy hamming it up for the camera:
When he was done posing, he jumped up onto a lettuce plant to show how well he could hide.
Freddy says to say hello to all his fans!
Thank you for reading my article.
If you haven’t met Freddy yet, here’s the first of the Freddy stories.
If you want something meditative, my most recent piece is a six word photo essay may be just the ticket.
And if you want a change from the cuteness of Freddy, there’s always this piece:
I am frequently inspired by other writers on Medium. Here are some I’ve particularly enjoyed reading recently:
Dr. Fatima Imam wrote this lovely short piece about the value of just continuing to write, no matter what anyone else thinks:
Here Neera Handa Dr gives a different perspective on what motivates her to keep writing:
Gauri Sirur shares a story about developing self-assurance in a new community in a new country. We can all learn from her persistence in the face of various “learning experiences”.
Janin Lyndovsky has an entertaining two part story about trying to plant shrubs in hard dry rocky ground. That is a lot like what I deal with on my property. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
I wish to thank new people who recently chose to follow me and my writing. Your interest encourages me to continue writing. I hope you enjoy this new story.
Thank you for following me.
Finally, I would like to invite those that previously commented or clapped for my Freddy stories to share this story with me. If any of you would like to be excluded from my tags in future, please, please let me know!
