F.R.O.G Blog

by Shadow Prowler

Rated: 18+ · Book · Activity · #2230460

Wanna know what a frog has to blog about? Read on!

I have decided to give this blogging thing one more shot. I had one but it was filled with random stuff, not focused and I'd go days and weeks without making updates. Well, I joined a blogging group called Take Up Your Cross and they supply daily prompts, which I've noticed has helped tremendously. Thus far, I've only made two late entries!

Now, I've decided to up the anty, and I want to try the 30-day blog challenge. I've decided to create THIS blog specifically for that purpose! I think, getting daily prompts helps. It serves as a reminder to make a post and it also helps to focus my thoughts onto to something specific and not random things.

I am a F.R.O.G. this did not happen overnight but was a gradual morphosis that happened over the last 45 years of my life. No, I didn't turn into a brightly colored reptile that hangs out on a lilypad. A F.R.O.G is someone who Fully Relies On God.
It is my hope that my entries in this daily blog will reflect my F.R.O.G personality and lifestyle and maybe, just maybe some of you will decide to become F.R.O.Gs as well!

I have three cats. We use corn for fuel so this year we had a lot of mice. If I hear a chase going on and can catch the mouse before the cat kills it, I throw them out the door even in a snowstorm. Their chances are better outside than inside. My cats will carry them gently and release them so they can catch them again. It is a strain for the poor mouse. We also put out traps in the pantry, so, I know how and have dumped the dead ones out in the trash. I only hope the ones that get pitched out the door are given a chance at a life. When I pitch them out it is usually with a lecture about how dangerous it is to live in a house with cats and traps.

A very tender-hearted man, for sure. I'm not a fan of mice, per se, but I don't wish them death - just to live somewhere else. Cool on using the live traps.

We also have a mouse problem. I'm not sure why but I suspect the neighbor brings them in with stuff she brings home from cleaning cabins. We have yet to come across a mother and babies since we try and catch them right away (we always have a trap or two set up) before they make a mess. I'm the same way, I use a live trap and take them over to the recycling area, there's plenty of shelter and food, and they aren't bothering anyone.

In mid-December we got a new puppy, a Husky we named Max. He's as efficient as any cat at catching mice or at least trying to catch them. It's been over a month since we've caught a mouse, before Max, it was at least one per week. I suppose, after having a Max attack, they go back out the same way they came in.

Yay for using live traps.

I might have had trouble not laughing too... except I have cats and they've have been ... making the live traps unnecessary in a flash.

Praying for you!

Girl... you exhaust me! So far I got up and I'm drinking coffee. I need to get a new satchel and a sim card, write more postcards and post.

Plans... Pon surprised me this morning... young or old... some men can redirect plans. I may be moving here.

Thanksgiving... not happening, but it really hasn't for years. Lack of family is sad.

Y'all are doing better than me. I'm not exactly a Scrooge or a Grinch, but we've not had a tree in years. That's partly because we have nowhere to put it anyway. We did use to have a small table top tree.

We are pretty far away from family and often everybody seems to be broke or too busy to do anything even at that time of year. I seem to be the magillionaire. Haha. Except I'm not anywhere close to anything resembling one.

I get stuff for other people. But then it's too costly to send stuff There's a box that you pay A certain amount and FiLL it as much as you wish and the send it off. Those are pretty handy unless you can't afford it.

As for recipes, I wonder what could be made with phyllo dough. I've made something with it and took it to a big party, and wow was it good. None was leftover lol

I used the phyllo in layers, brush with butter,in a large casserole dish also spinach, feta cheese, and tiny amount if dill. Folded the top layers over and baked. I don't remember how long but maybe 350 farenheit for about 20-25 minutes. Yumm

lighthouse.37 I'll post those recipes in the forum for you :) I can post the original mock turtle stew recipe then, once I figure out the revamped version that works best for me, I can post that as an update.

I have black cherries in the freezer, so by the time you get here the coffee will be hot and I'll have some cherry popovers ready for you. Anytime. Your always welcome! Tho I do have a recipe for a cherry danish streusel which I've been wanting to try so you might get lucky and get both!

Boys have hollow legs which demand to be filled! Growing boys are seldom "full". I've had similar experiences both with growing boys and animals left unsupervised in the kitchen. I've even had a few cats that would get to the top of my fridge where I used to keep bread...until they broke me of that habit!

Before we moved to Houston, I had 6 Christmas trees...and put them ALL up each year in different rooms of the house. Now, I live in a one-bedroom apartment and I lost all the trees we had, but was lucky to find the tree we have now on clearance in mid-summer the first year we moved here! This will be our second year, our second Christmas at this apartment with this tree!

The Mouse Ran UP The Human

Writing with my tablet again so will keep it simple. Sometimes, I love my husband more than words can express.

It is very apparent we have mice. Yesterday, hubby was searching in the closet for something I asked for and he disturbed a .mother mouse and her nest of babies. The mother mouse jumped at him and ran up his arm. He said a string of words I can't repeat unless I change my rating to way over 18.

I'm a horrible wife ....I admit... instead of going into "protect hubby" mode...I went in to a fit of laughing so hard I cried. I'm sorry, really I am...but the look on his face was just so comical😆🙄

Anyway, later that night I went on Amazon and found a box of 20 basic .once traps for ten bucks..but told hubby HE has to check the traps and throw them out. He looked at the traps and said, "But honey, those will kill them." I explained the cost of the live traps have gone up.

This morning he handed me some money and told me get the live traps. He said he got to thinking if we killed a mama mouse, the poor babies would suffer before they too died. He shook his head at me and said " All life, great and small is a precious gift from God."

I married a kind hearted soul💗🕊💗

(I've also noticed he's peeped in on those babies at least twice that I know of)
