Abby finds a moth

scarlett Abby

Abby finds a moth inside the house and just could not reach it.

If you see a piece of paper taped to the wall, that was mine when I was littler.  Grandpa  let me tape them all over the place… and he leaves them up to remind him of me when I am not there.

Scarlett and Auntie Sam go Trick or Treating

Scarlett and Auntie Sam go Trick or Treating
Dressed as a witch (Hillary Clinton), Scarlett goes trick or treating with Auntie Sam and Dominique somewhere there are people and kids.  No one goes “begging” in Grandpa’s neighborhood… which is OK for Scarlett as there’s even more candy for her.   “Yes” Grandpa wrote this post.. I am a little too young (Still 6)  to understand the Hillary Clinton thing.

The Last Tadpole turned into frog released

scarlett Tadpoles

The last tadpole that became a frog was released on October 26th 2017.  I lost count after there were 125+ released. Yes, One hundred twenty five…. and probably a few more.

You can see the remnants of the tail as he was “just” about a fully formed frog.  The little frog stayed there for a few minutes and was warming up (it was cool this morning)… and then I watched him hop away.

Scarlett helps with flowers

scarlett Everyday Stuff, Tadpoles

Scarlett helps with flowers.  Grandpa trimmed some flowers from the front of the yard and Scarlett collected some and put them in two small vases.  You can see a few other things about the front yard and even Maggie… our crippled beagle.  Maggie  was supposed to be a “toy Beagle”   which means she was supposed to stay small. However, alhough she barks like a beagle, she really looks like a hot dog in a beagle’s costume.  About 7 years ago, she hurt her back some how and has not been able to coordinate her back legs… so she doesn’t walk. But she moves around just fine pulling herself along with her front legs and she’s not in pain… so life is good for her.

By the way, Grandpa says, we have released at least 120 frogs so far from the tadpole batch we caught by Mary’s house. He releases anywhere from 5 to 10 per day as he is changing the water.

Scarlett takes over the Tadpole release video

Scarlett takes over the Tadpole release video.

Grandpa was filming the tadpoles being released and cleaned and trouble started when he gave Scarlett the phone to film the event.

You can see Scarlett’s finger over the camera.  And you can see Scarlett does not listen when Grandpa tells her she is going to run out of space on the iphone. Grandma got lucky as towards the end, Scarlett filmed her in her PJs, and wanted Grandpa to edit that out… but the iphone camera already shut itself off as it did run out of space.

Grandpa makes some severe fashion statements when cutting the grass.  Uncle Vincent’s bright red Keds sneakers almost wound up being thrown out when Vincent moved back from college in Wisconsin. Grandma thinks Grandpa looks crazy, like some lost senior citizen or something.  Either way, so far we released over 50 frogs so far with about the same amount still left to go.
