Pour quoi frog?

Why frogs? Well, why not. These frogs are for Darcy, who has been in isolation in The Sydney Children's Hospital. If you want to follow Darcy's progress check out the journal updates here: www.caringbridge.org/visit/darcygilmour10/journal

If you want to make a frog you can find instructions at: http://www.savethefrogs.com/teachers/images/Origami-Jumping-Frog.pdf .

If frogs are beyond you, you can also give blood. Details of how available from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

La grenouille et la pomme de terre - final installment

Finally, once the snows had come...

a frog decided to break in.

But to no avail.

Even when they had pulled the house apart ...


....there was no sign of Frog and Potato.
They had fled.

Two of the older frogs took their problem to the wise old owls. 
 "What shall we do?" they croaked.
The owls thought long and hard.  "Let them love", they finally said.  "Love is the only answer".

The frogs could not bear to be separated forever from Frog. So they approached the potatoes, who felt the same way about Potato, and they shared with them the message from the owls.

Messengers were sent out bearing a white feather of peace.

They found Frog and Potato.
And asked them to come home.

And finally, after years and years of tribal warfare,
peace came to the garden.....


....becuase a Frog and a Potato dared to fall in love.
