My Mother-In-Laws Frog

Tweet

A few years ago my mother-in-law used to go up to Black Lake in the Thousand Islands area of Northern New York. She owned a camp there on the lake and would go stay during the summer then come back down to Florida for the winter. She loved it there with all of her wild little outdoor friends. One of her favorites was a great big frog that she called Herman. She would walk out on her deck in the morning and yell out "Good morning Herman", and he would crock a song back to her. At night before she went to be she would do the same thing. They had a wonderful little chatty relationship. One day she called out "Good Morning Herman" and he didn't answer. She worried and fretted all day long until she called out "Good Night, Herman" and he crocked back. She went to bed a happy person that night. She had been afraid that an animal or something ha gotten him and he was no longer living. It's funny how attached you can become to a little wild frog.
