Ha! bet you didn't expect one of these did you?
Very ponderous pond life and one wonders what this creature is contemplating ... maybe global warming and the fact that so many spring flowers are out early this year. The daffs will be putting on a grand display by St David's Day (1st of March) there are snowdrops in abundance in the garden here as well as the dainty winter aconites, some of the polyanthus have been out since Christmas
and especially noticeable now that the snow has gone and the wet grass in warmer sun has sprung surprises like these dainty crocus in the lawn.
The fat frog isn't the only onlooker to these new little blooms in the garden ...
when this place was a working farm, there were real pigs here and chickens once roamed where the crocus are growing. Only the other day, the daughter of the previous owners came over to see this farm house that she left 36 years ago, so I found out what life was like as a working farmers daughter and when there was arable land belonging to it.
It is now just garden with a large vegetable patch but some of the orchard trees survive.
Now the pigs are lichen covered and as for the tummy hugging frog, well I leave it up to you to have a guess what it might be saying if it could talk. More as and when I get time.
