What a lot of rain to turn the bamboo grove into a frog pond!
I'd like one of those to happen spontaneously in my little bamboo grove.

Has Skunk Cat moved into your shed?
Was he moving towards the chicken when you peeped through the curtains?

I didn't know they made banana popsicles!

Skunk Cat lives two doors over, but he may have been caught by the storm and decided to stay warm and dry.

(If I were caught by a storm, a tin-roofed shed would be just the place--rain on a tin roof is a nice roar.)

Oh, yes, banana Popsicles are very popular! There are also lime and raspberry Popsicles, with fruit juice in them (10%). They are very pleasant in summer after hot gardening.

The frog pond will eventually disappear, but the little woods frogs are going to be noisy all spring. Happy March! At last.

Lime and raspberry sounds like my kind of Popsicle!
Happy March to you, too, dear Jackie. My freesias are blooming!

What? They make banana,na flavored popsicles? Since when, Jackie? I am living in a void. And stop bragging about stuff coming up in your yard as I brush aside the snow to see my green pointy things emerge from the cold hard ground, cold and hard like my cold, black heart. Only more earthy. And wormy.

I'm sorry about the bragging.

Tell you what: I'll send you some banana Popsicles.

Oh, wait...

Tell you what: I'll have one for dessert tonight in your honor.

Okay, I guess that will do, sob that works for me. And by the way, I was out in your yard with you, too. Thank you, sweetheart.

Glorious March! If it isn't too terribly muddy from our snow melt, I plan to walk about the yard later. Time to take inventory. I need to check on my Lenten rose, too.

I particularly loved banana popscicles as a kid... raspberry-lime sounds awesome!!! but as there's snow on the ground right now, I guess it will have to wait.
