The wildlife, it is out to get me

So last night I took Hagen out for his last out going, and he saw a frog on the patio. "Hmm," he thought, and nosed it. It jumped, but not far. I suppose it wasn't interesting enough, because Hagen left it alone and walked me off to the corner of the yard. On our way back, I scanned for the frog, and didn't see it. "Hagen, the frog is clearly smarter than you are." It was around the word "smarter" that I felt my foot squelch on the side of the frog. And yes, I was wearing shoes, but that didn't undo the psychic damage. Nothing went crunch; the frog simply sat there like a smooshed gummi frog.

This morning, he was gone. Dead or not, I don't care; I didn't have to deal with a little carcass.

Dana got us a decorative wall sconce for the entryway, and I put together a little display of silk flowers and some moss, so it looked nice. Last week, I remarked to Dana that it was looking a little sparse, but I couldn't remember exactly what I'd put into it. This morning, I spied a bird flying out of the sconce.

So somewhere, there are very festive nests. And retarded birds.

And that's all the news that's fit to report.
