This part of Dreams & Things is dedicated to those gentle little creatures we call frogs!
We all know the fairytale of a frog that turns into a handsome prince after
being kissed by the princess.
I have never kissed a frog, but love them none the less.

These slimy (but oh so cute!) little creatures crept into my heart from an early age.
I have frogs in my garden and they normally come out of hiding in summer
when they can be found "hunting" on the lawn.
Frogs give us a good indication of how healthy our environment is.
This is one of the reasons why I use no pesticides whatsoever in my garden.
Many people keep frogs in aquariums inside the home but I would advise anyone
to do a bit of research before attempting this.  Many frogs die every year
from being kept in unhealthy conditions.
I prefer leaving things up to nature and do as much as I can
to rather encourage frogs to my garden.
 

How to invite frogs into your garden:
Don't use any pesticides
Install a pond or water feature
Grow an "oasis"
(lots of plans and water in a corner of the garden)
Minimise natural enemies
Attract insects with scrubs or flowering plants (for food)
 

I was feeling pretty blue
While a longing, dear for you,
When I saw a little frog
With his head above the bog
Perhaps he's listening
Hoping too
Wishing he might hear from you
And the note of shear thought
Gave me, dear,
A happy thought!
