Gertrude, our little Green Frog, has left us. She hid all winter under her favourite pot of Marsh Marigolds and oh joy, appeared one day sitting amongst the blooms.

Then last week she just disappeared. My partner Gord and I believe she went back to the creek to look for another pond. She had become so fat we think she was full of eggs and was looking for a daddy for her babies.

We wish her well and hope she soon finds her Prince Charming.

We miss her, the pond is very lonely without her. But we do have a pair of ducks who come every year for a visit.
