Sue that's the same type frog! They are tree frogs. They are quite able to jump and climb. They plaster themselves en masse to out windows and sliding glass doors here and wait for bugs that are attracted to the houselights at night. In winter sometimes I will bring in a few plants if frost is gonna come and I always end up with little green frogs hopping all over the house! We have to chase them down and put them back out because they will dry out and die quickly in the house. AT night, they all "sing". We are used to it now, but when we first moved out here we were weirded out by it. I mean, they are LOUD. There are thousands and thousands of them, all chirping together, and they can make some really strange sounds. House guests we have had from other states say that they can't sleep sometimes because if the noise the frogs make. I think this little one with the white stripe, which is one that we have here too, is common all over the South. Here in Florida we are also dealing with a new one, its an invasive exotic from Cuba called the Cuban Tree Frog (original, huh?) Its bigger than our little native ones, and they EAT our native frogs! They are voracious and also eat lizards and small snakes. They are a real threat. Many folks in SOuth FL kill them on site. They are just making their way up the state now. I have seen a few on my place. I maintain some in-ground container ponds for growing water lilies and aquatic aroids, and we have large aquatic frogs in all of those. You are right, they really go help with the skeeter population! That Dahlia is TO DIE FOR!!!!!!! Its gorgeous. I don't think those grow well here. At any rate you never ever see them, if they did, I know everyone would have them.

LOL--he said that instead of 'sold' they had 'just married' for the day of the settlement, but I'm not sure if he was 'just kidding' about that. And boy, I'd love to find a nice healthy garden shed in the yard--we need a new one at the other house! It might be going to a foster home--LOL! So far, I'm practically in disbelief as to how smoothely things are going--hope there's not a shoe waiting to fall on our heads.

meant to add this... It looks like an old Samsonite suitcase but I imagine any could be used. Stuff with a couple pieces of sturdy foam and covered with button tufted fabric. I think it would be fairly easy to do. The bottom would/could be lined with 2x4 around the edge to screw the legs into.

Ohhhhhh!! Camryn just melts my heart looking at her! I still call Maddie my baby girl and she's 6 now! Camryn can be your sweet baby girl for years yet! ;)
