I saw him from far away,
sitting high on an old wooden trellis.
What did he say?
"I have my eyes on you Missy!"
"Good," I said, "I have my eyes on you too.
I may not have your fancy binoculars but
my 20-20 vision will do."
With that we smiled and gave
a bit of a wave, telling each other,
in a nice way, to behave
and wished, in that whimsical way,
to have a very nice day.
Yes, well a poet she is not!
I found froggy a long, long time ago in my favorite garden. I don't think he is there anymore. I have seen him two or three times since but I'm sure he has rusted away by now as the last time I was there, he was nowhere to be found. I have taken pictures of our froggy before. I am hoping one day he will appear in our garden, at least maybe a cousin of his. I can dream. Everyone needs a rusty old frog in their garden, don't they?
Ah well now, time to get sensible and get head out of clouds, and talking about clouds...
these were taken in the parking lot of a supermarket called Sprouts Farmers Market. It's in Manassas, a bit off our usual beaten path but it was nice to see something different, and we said we would like to go there again.
I actually wanted to go to a farmer's market a couple of miles away but was a bit too late getting there. I looked for my honey (Gregg just looked up and I had to tell him no, not you Honey). That would be the honey I use to top my yogurt off with. I am running out of it and saw loads of honey at Sprouts, but didn't see the one I am looking for. Still on the hunt as I have a bee in my bonnet for this one local honey, pardon the pun, and for the groaners. It's late and my brain is getting a bit past its bedtime.
Instead, we bought a couple of pears, a piece of fresh ginger so that I can slice it and put into my tea, some Asian Pork Dumplings, quite small and they went great with the freshly made shrimp and vegetable sushi, also bought at Sprouts. We had this for our dinner. I think that was about it for our shopping trip. It was a nice, short trip but we got a bit of sunshine and that was lovely. A bit too hot but we weren't in the heat for long. Cooler today - 85 degrees F. (30 degrees C. I think that is). We have had it in the 90s for a few days and it has started to get hot and humid.
Okay, whimsical side just left. As I said it's late and I am off to bed. Sweet dreams everyone and have a great time tomorrow/today.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Denise, love ❤️ this post and beautiful photos, dear friend. And the frog 🐸 at the end made me smile. 😊
ReplyDeleteSo glad froggy gave you a smile Linda and thank you so much my dear friend :)
DeleteI do like the spying froggie and his poem! I have herd of Sprouts, they must be a chain. But I have never seen any.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginny :) Apparently they have been in this location for a couple of years but I hadn’t heard of it until hubs found out about it a couple of months back. We finally decided to go check it out. It is not an area we are in that often as our regular shopping places are in the opposite direction by several miles. Besides this one in Manassas, there is one in Herndon, another in Leesburg and a fourth one will be opened in Arlington in 2026.
DeleteVery beautiful poem Denise.
ReplyDeleteCreate images along with the photos!
It's hard to find good honey!!
The image you made for the end is very beautiful, I really like that you put an image according to the post!! I hope you sleep well, it's morning here, Good morning!!
Good morning Katerina and thank you for your lovely comment :) Thank you for mentioning my signature frog. I always have fun finding the graphic and adding my signature to fit my theme. It’s a fun hobby! I actually found a dress design to put on this little frog, all added in Paint Shop Pro, an old program I have had for many years.
DeleteLike the frog, I have one hiding in my garden too.
ReplyDeleteSeems you had a nice day out and yes, it's a bit warm to be walking in the sunshine and heat, Denise. Take care.
Thank you Margaret, I certainly will :)
DeleteThat's a lovely poem and I love the frog!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole, I am happy you enjoyed :)
DeleteThe great honey hunt continues! I hope you're soon successful.
ReplyDeleteA fun way to put it Janice, thank you :)
DeleteI know you will recoil in shock at this, Denise, but I do think I can live out my days without a rusty frog in the garden. Call me shallow, but that’s the way it is!
ReplyDeleteI would never call you shallow David, rusty old frogs are not for everyone :)
DeleteWe had many frogs in our VA garden and now we have one outside our apt entry relocated from our former front porch, along with the penguin.😉
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I am glad you brought him with you, along with the penguin :)
DeleteWonderful photos. Those clouds are something else eh! Amazing :-D I love the rusty frog :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ananka. It certainly was a gorgeous sky yesterday and it makes me smile you liking the rusty frog. Thank you for sharing that :)
