I wonder where this little frog will go to.

18 years ago

I was wanting to pull out the Cucumber vines as they are finished but I found this little frog so have not the heart to do it, it has probably got another home somewhere, but it will miss the food source as the vines have so many caterpillars on them, I suppose that is dinner for the frog and its quite welcome to it too, saves me squashing them. So I had better leave them a few more days as I cannot have that cute frog going hungry can I, I wish it would go for a feed on the rose buds as there are plenty of bud worms there, maybe it does not like climbing over the thorns...........Cheers..MM.

I think he is a lucky little frog to live at your place where his needs are so well considered! What a cutie!....Cheers, Dee.

It's interesting digging down into boggy ground because you go through layers of different type materials. In my case, first there is a 6" rooty loose peat layer, where the material falls apart and look dark brown and fibery and woody, damp to wet. There is also old pieces of wood in it. Then, below that, is a totally different material thick that is dark gray to black in color, very compressed, almost clay-like, dry yet sticky, and is difficult to break apart. I think it is compressed muck. Then, below that is another type that is different again. It is greenish in color, slimy, wettish again, and has long fibers in it that look like grass or sedge. This looks lower quality to me. I haven't gone deep enough to hit substrate mineral soil, the above is no deeper than about 2 feet down. I'm thinking some of this material must be very old, ancient, and began to accumalate thousands of years ago. No mastadon or wooly mammoth bones yet tho :-)

Thanks the pictures are precious. I will miss them. They disappeared after the 1st cold front and now came back out. My dw told me a few months how they always ride to work with her. She now has to make a trip around the car to shoo them off. I am amazed at the number I have here in just a few months. There is one on almost every plant that is not in the sun. I can hear them singing at night. When I spray I have to do it while the sun is up and be careful and no pesticides. Maybe Santa will have me a macro capable camera this year. Keep those frog pictures coming. I may need a frog fix soon if it cools down much more. Jim

Dang Nabit!!! The P-trap is easy. Just tighten a bit more. Not too much if plastic, you can strip it. The DW is going to be either the fill or the drain. The fill should have a cutoff under the sink: turn off the water. This again may be a connection that needs to be tightened down a little more. The drain on the KA is just a hose, but it has a clamp on the pump/motor end and another at the airgap (do you have one of these?) or the GD end. (I assume the first time it drained you heard/saw the water going through the GD?) In terms of 'high loop' (and no airgap) the hose needs to be mounted so that there is a high point in the line somewhere. It connects to a short section of hose at the bottom of the washer with a provided clamp. Maybe the clamp is missing or is in the wrong place. Anyway, this isn't rocket science and you need perhaps someone else to look at it. A plumber is not necessary, perhaps just a handyman. Or someone else who knows which end of a screwdriver and pliers are to be used in this instance.

Thank you for returning to update! I have been thinking of you. I just want to echo Mtn-- it wasn't all for nothing. Keep doing what you are doing. FWIW I also allow my GP to handle routine GYN maintenance and testing. I think that's fine until there's a need for a specialist. It makes sense for me for a lot of reasons-- I am sure it's the same for you. You are in an area with the best medical care in the country. I am sure you are with a dr you trust and respect... and the speed with which they responded to a concern is impressive. So glad you are in good hands and that there are no concerns!!

At least your cute little one is in the right place. We have several big ones that live in our bathroom and one of their favourite places is down the bath drainhole. Last night we had a bad smell coming from there and found a lovely (not) bloated and very dead frog in there. Great fun unscrewing pipes and fishing it out :( Note to myself - remember to fix the hole in the screen.

Well Annie someone has to look after them , but it must have found a lovely home somwhere on our block as it was gone yesterday, so all the cukes are gone now caterpillars and all............They hopped on to the rose buds. Jan there will be no more veggies going in for a couple of months its just too hot......GH we have one or maybe more in the thick black hose thats connected to the bath outlet that runs on the garden it or they protest loudly when I pull the plug. Thanks everyone it is a tiny cutie and only this long -------- about 2cms...... Cheers..MM.
