{if you build it they will come}

Good Morning!
How are you!?!?
I am enjoying an absolutely perfect morning!
Went for an early morning run and then came back to enjoy my morning cup of joe on the front porch:)
Remember the pond I built???
Well it is now frog central:) :)
This morning I counted 35....yes 35 frogs in my pond!

I wasn't always a big fan of frogs but they are growing on me!
I just love to watch them in the morning! I've even see them catch bugs a few times!
I know......I should have more going on than just sitting around watching frogs....but seriously....if you take just a moment to appreciate all the beauty in nature.....you will walk away HAPPY!

I wonder what the frogs would say ... if they could talk:)
Maybe...."hey just relax....everything's gonna be alright" or " a few flies...some water...a lily pad and i'm happy" :) :)

Like this little one....just poking his head up....
Hey....why are you taking my picture....you know I don't like to be photographed:) heehee

but really...I couldn't be any happier with the way the pond is shaping up!
I still need a few more pond plants......but no rush, right!?!?

I also think it's kind of funny that that's the first thing people see when they walk up to my front door.....frogs jumping everywhere:)
I think they can figure right away that I am a nature lovin' kind of girl:)

I think this one really thought a back drop of glass floats would suit him best!
I won a couple of those floats from The Glass Float Junkie!!! I put them around the pond.....I think they look cute. Sometime i'd like to get some more:))
Since I can't live in the south....I like to pretend that my frogs are really alligators:)
see....they kind of look like it with their heads just peeking out of the water!

They seriously just crack me up:)
I think it's good to take a step back and just appreciate nature!

I also noticed that even my lilies are starting to bloom........

I wonder if they're all friends.....or do they have one frog that they just can't get along with....you know...a real lily hog!

I don't know...with 35 of them in a not so big pond....i'd say they probably all get along just fine! Maybe we should learn a thing or two from the frogs!

Sometimes you need your space......
and sometimes you want to spend your time with others!! Right?!!?

I think it's nice to take a moment to enjoy a little nature while collecting your own thoughts:)
You never know what lessons you'll learn! And even if you don't learn anything....maybe you'll just smile:)
Hope you have a super happy week!!!!!!!!
I am off to visit my grandma and then to the grocery store for some super healthy eats:)
Take care~
