Loved hearing...Lisa, this is such a wonderful post!<br />Loved hearing about your tree frog, and seeing such great photos.<br /><br />I once picked some cotton bolls from a field and arranged them in a vase in my bedroom...halfway through the winter, I woke up one morning and found my ceiling covered with itsy-bitsy spiders. ekkkkk!cyndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006126625281714507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-60132497637975307522011-10-31T08:28:04.929-04:002011-10-31T08:28:04.929-04:00My plants have been indoors for several weeks now,...My plants have been indoors for several weeks now, and just two nights ago our cocker spaniel got very excited about the plants in the corner, so thinking that possibly a mouse had hidden there, I moved all the plants out and cleared the space so Sambo wouldn't spill everything in his excitement. Much to my surprise I found a tiny tree frog trying to hide there. I returned him to the outdoors so he could find a suitable winter home. Sambo finally gave up and lost interest in the area and all plants are back in place again. :-)Feathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10153693634962034248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-33284914904718829262011-10-28T08:25:29.114-04:002011-10-28T08:25:29.114-04:00What a story!

We've brought in several tree frogs over the years. Also, a katydid that chose to remain silent until our bedtime. The worst was an assassin bug that Jo decided to pick up and return outdoors. She learned the hard way that assassin bugs can inflict a painful bite.Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03374936227735741953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-62533657538937185102011-10-21T19:14:30.112-04:002011-10-21T19:14:30.112-04:00I thought I had commented. hmmm I came to look at ...I thought I had commented. hmmm I came to look at this guy again.
