grey tree frogs – Lee Duigon

What a Night (Sigh)

I had a rough night last night. But I remember two dreams I had–well, I sort of remember them–so maybe I had a little more sleep than I thought.

First I woke in the middle of the night with the traces of a nice, soothing dream in which I was playing with tree frogs (see the photo above). I was sorry to come out of that one.

Later, almost morning, I woke from a dream involving Strobe Talbot. Who? I couldn’t quite remember who he was, so we looked him up. He’s a die-hard Clintonista who has it in for Donald Trump.

Why did I dream about him? I don’t know. Often enough, dreams are trying to tell you something that you missed during the day. But Strobe Talbot? Members of the Clinton administration sneaking into my sleep? Wouldn’t they just love being able to do that!

Any ideas, out there? I can’t wait to hear them.

Odd Little Pets: Grey Tree Frogs

Permit me to indulge myself. I had some of these grey tree frogs once, and I just loved ’em! They tame fast, and mine used to perch on my finger like parakeets and eat out of my other hand.

Yes, I know the ones you see in the video are green. They can turn green or grey at will. They’re very good at changing color.

They have a sweet song, too. Well, I thought it was sweet. My housemates threatened to poison me if I didn’t release the frogs back into the wild. I had to comply.

I hope they liked me as much as I liked them. The frogs, not the housemates.
