I forget to post some of my ideas all the time, I hope you remember yours this time. Your Friday plan sounds great, let me know when you do it and I'll add a note at the end of that post.<br /><br />I'm glad to have the two kids along sometimes. I never intended to bring them, but Alice always looks forward to it. My original intention was to get more adults interested.<br />-<br /><br />Kallen - There are actually quite a few days without too much wildlife. There's usually at least something interesting though. I love dogs, but they're just not as interesting as wild animals when I'm in the forest.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-40542036698499339922009-04-19T03:33:00.000-05:002009-04-19T03:33:00.000-05:00It sounds like a fun day despite the lack of wild ...It sounds like a fun day despite the lack of wild life.

Now you've done it again and reminded me of something else I could post on my blog. Have I followed through on any of those yet? Hmmm. I did look up one picture but then never posted it. So I'm ready the next time your Friday feature is a good match (evil laugh).<br /><br />You are very generous to take Alice and Jack on your walks, as special as they are to you.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-42833077199998765992009-04-18T23:31:00.000-05:002009-04-18T23:31:00.000-05:00Betchai - Alice really had a good time collecting ...Betchai - Alice really had a good time collecting those old acorn pieces. Actually, one of the other parks I visit is right next to a freeway. You just reminded me that I need to go back there to look for some little toads that show up every spring.<br /><br />Welcome to Blogger! I hope you like your new bloghome.

They're always skeptical, even when I'm telling the truth. I think Alice compared the acorn tops to hats.<br /><br />I've been trying to get a look at the frogs, but I've seen nothing yet. Thanks for the tip about the male frogs. I thought there was something like that, but I couldn't remember.<br /><br />I love dogs, but I agree with you. Strange dogs are only fun at a distance. You said it well.<br />-<br /><br />Rainfield - Actually it was a short one for Alice. She likes to see everything she can along the way. We had to make it short for Jack. He hasn't found much to be interested in yet. That's why I don't tell much about him.<br />-<br /><br />WiseAcre - It's funny that I've only seen girls of her generation that like rocks and other things of nature. None of the boys seem interested at all. You'd think it would be the other way around. Video games are a powerful thing, I guess.<br /><br />We're in for some rain in the next few days too, but it's been beautiful up here lately.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-7988958160552146002009-04-18T17:10:00.000-05:002009-04-18T17:10:00.000-05:00Glad you had a good walk.

They believed me for awhile, and I liked making them think there was a little magic out there in the woods.<br /><br />Love the frogs!! We have bullfrogs in our pond and I take their pictures ALL of the time. Only the males croak--so you can tell the kids that.<br /><br />I really hate dog owners that think we all love their dog! Ugh. I don't want to be approached by your animal, really. Why do they do that??? And yes, the beast scared away all of the wildlife causing you're adventure to be a little less exciting. Sigh.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
