LOL! That was pretty funny, now we know where the frogs are going. Must
have been what happened to mine night before last.

Yesterday, when I went out to check the lilies for their dividing needs
(thankfully on 2 needed it) and to feed them, I found one basket from the
shelf had been pushed off and had slid to the bottom. Thankfully it stayed
up right and was no worst for wear. Another small pot was knocked over and
one lotus tub had definitely been danced in. Not that I could see foot
prints, and maybe there is a logical explanation now for the lacking
thereof, but it had had old stems sticking up throughout the pot. Those
stems were now mostly missing.

I now surmise that it wasn't a passing raccoon but the anti-frogs neighbors
have turned me over to the local Cantonese restaurant entrepreneurs. I
noted last night, the frogs were not as active, in fact I only remember a
croak or two, before my over-yard-worked body fell fast to sleep. I bet
those employees knew I'd blame a little masked critter over men, by simply
turning over a pot or two, and prodding around in a lotus pot.

They're in for a wet surprised during the next roundup as we attached the
motion sprinkler and have it turned on HI. ;-) ~ jan
