Yesterday evening, just as Dan was getting home, the phone rang. It was actually Dan, calling from the driveway to let Mariam know that he had spotted a frog out front and inquiring if she might like to come see it. She mentioned that she was actually very busy playing a game where she was both Queen of the World and a professional basketball player, but that yes, she was very interested in this frog of his. Of course, she managed to catch our amphibious visitor in about thirty seconds flat, a skill which I am still impressed by over a year after she first perfected it. She also let me take a few photos before letting the frog go and returning inside to listen to bird calls for awhile before dinner.
By the way, have you ever heard the call of the Atlantic Puffin? Super weird. I had to ask her to turn it off.
