Concerts and plagues

Well, the concert was awesome!  The meet-and-greet with Keith Anderson was fun, but I was talking when my co-worker snapped the shot of me with him, and it's a hideous shot of me, so it won't be appearing here.  That is disappointing.  Here is Keith later, though, on stage:


Today, Kevin and I ran some errands and on the way home, I noticed something VERY strange.  Going through the river bottoms, a little frog on the road caught my eye.  I started to pay more attention and they were EVERYWHERE!  I'm not exaggerating; there were hundreds of little frogs everywhere you looked.

The more I saw, the weirder I felt.  I asked Kevin what on earth would cause so many hundreds of frogs to be on the move at the same time.  He raised his voice and practically yelled, "IT'S A PLAGUE! DON'T YOU READ YOUR BIBLE?"  Ha ha, honey.

When we got home, I saw that they were all over our yard, too.  Here is one of them that I picked up to prove it:


They are all this size, and they are literally taking over the world, or something.  Oh yeah, on a side note, Kevin said that if I told anyone, he'd deny seeing any frogs at all.  He's such a supportive husband.

**edited to add the following**
I think I have a pretty good theory about the frog plague. (frogedemic?)
A frog is 12-16 weeks from egg to frog.  We had the flood that filled the river bottoms with water.  That water is gone now.  The poor things are now fully frog-like, and their home is gone!  Poor critters.  I think I'll go down and shoo them toward the river.  It's the right thing to do.

I'll be back in 3-4 months.  That's how long it will take to round up all of them!

They're all over the pasture where we take our walk, too.

Glad you had fun at the concert.  The frog thing is weird.  I hate that since you can't avoid hitting them.

I'm glad you enjoyed some hee-haw music at the concert.
At least it wasn't Toby Keith...I'd never forgive you if you paid
money to see that douchebag.  :)

I was going to say..that's why you have so many frogs. They are cute right now though.

Glad you had fun at the concert.
