Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for December 10, 2018

Roasted native birdie for supper ….

That’s a very long tweet.

Sounds like a plant, to me. No victory in that garden.

Bossy liddle birb.

The yard will be filled with starlings and house sparrows anyway.

There’s about to be a little less avian diversity here, ya little runt. Fly away. Ya bother me.

Put up a bird feeder and the birds will come and install native plants for you.

Froglandia Christmas festivities will be on December 22nd, at the Stumble Inn on the shore of Lake Demigod. Bring your Full Moon foil hat, if needed.

I think he’s a plant. No victory in that garden.

Hmm, a little birdie really DID tell her.

Funny but with a subtle point.

When I lived in Florida, my landscaping was all natural with native plants and trees. Ditto when I lived in Arizona.

I gotta go out back and rake the forest.

I’m hoping that pomegranates are native to Florida. The tree’s not looking so great right now, though.

There are a few cultivars in the flower garden between the house and garage but still mostly natural wild woods and some prairie remnant.

I’ve been taking plants from the surrounding forest and putting them in the yard, only local plants such as giant hog weed will grow around here. My legally grown pot plants said, ‘its too cold and wet around here’ and killed themselves off.

“Actually, I’m burying the last person who tried to give me gardening tips.”

Well well, birdo, get yer hopes flying high…this here hole is a plant of sorts. It’s a fake for catching criminals and also feeding the poor.

No squab-ling!

I would think the quickest way to recoup losses would be to plant some humans, about six foot deep; either that or spark the zombie apocalypse.

Don’t mock the smock.

Smocking is an embroidery technique used to gather fabric so that it can stretch.

So a Smocking Gun is like a murderous seamstress moll, its simple.

She is planning to plant you into the ground, little bird..

Bossy little bird, what?

“Know what I am planting here? I’m planting bossy little birds. They make good fertilizer for the exotic plants I just may choose to raise. Or Not, I could “go native’; but it will be strictly My Choice!”

We all live in a yellow submarine called the frog applause scene, I would love a change over to today from yesterday, because it seems so far away..

I guess we need a break too ….

That bird is certainly persistent!
