The exercise:

Write about: the frog(s).

A little frog has taken up residence in our root house. Kat's dad gathered it up and placed it elsewhere yesterday, but it was already back in there this morning.

It's kinda cute, but I'd rather not have it hopping all over our garlic, potatoes, and onions.

Nearly managed to successfully get through our penultimate box program day - unfortunately the holiday mixed a couple people up, one of whom won't be able to come get their box until tomorrow morning.

But, otherwise, it went well. And we put together some pretty nice boxes, considering all the frost we've seen since last Wednesday.

Mine:

The girls sit by the river, dresses muddied and blonde hair in tangles. They look similar enough to be sisters, but they are not. In fact, an honest assessment of their relationship would conclude that they are not even friends.

Their mothers are childhood friends, and an annual joint vacation forces them together every summer. Since their ages are nearly identical their mothers presumed the girls would bond sooner than later, coming together for adventures and memories reminiscent of the ones they had formed in their own youth.

They continue to believe this, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

On this occasion the girls have been on their own since a picnic lunch concluded in the park at their backs. It is now late afternoon and they will be called to dinner at any moment.

Which means that they have very little time left to locate the frog they have just been fighting over. It had escaped during their argument, somewhere between what they should name it and who would kiss it first.

It was almost as though the prince had decided that neither girl would make a particularly fitting princess.
