Oma finally got her frogs

Every year I have been trying to have frogs in my pond. People always said they would just show up but that did not happen. Some years I had frogs but they left after a while. One frog stayed but didn't make it through the winter.

A few weeks ago I went to a friend's house and got myself some beauties from her abundance of frogs. Since then one volunteer has joined the group of three I brought home. I call them Jack, Jim, and Jennifer (I hope) and the volunteer is very tiny. So s(he)'s called.... yes, Tiny!

Holly loves to make them jump in the pond but I'm teaching her interspecies no-bullying skills! Are they cute or what?

Summer's last hurrah!

A Labor Day trip to Rickett's Glen State Park


After all our wonderful hikes in Germany and Austria Glenn and I have decided to do some serious hiking right here in PA. First trip, the 7 mile Falls Trail at Rickett's Glen State Park. Holly came too. It took us 2 hours to get to the park. The hike was a little over 4 hours. The pictures speak for themselves

Holding for Oma!





A seven mile hike up and down the rocks is hard on a little doggie's tootsies!!


What a great hike! Now a two hour ride back! Great trip!
