Frogs in the garden


Gregg took these shots on two different days this week while I was in Detroit. He was amazed at the change in color of the two stone frogs from Morelia. The frogs are simple folk carvings out of the commonly seen pink volcanic stone native to that part of Mexico. Many, many 15th century buildings use this stone as well.

You get a glimpse here of Hillary's "share-cropping" garden in the foreground. In anticipation of selling the Iriquois St. house, she had moved some treasured plants to a small plot in my garden for safe keeping. Beth and Hillary are determined to find a place in the Detroit area this week, so hopefully the plants will soon have a new home; if not, we'll enjoy their additional color in our garden for a while.
