We had a tree frog that came out every night and hunted on our living room window. It was here most of last summer and early this spring. I kind of miss watching it walking around the window but I don't miss the slimy smudges it left behind lol!

This is the second time this year we have come to SW Va only to be poured rain on! Are you ever going to have a nice weekend or is it just a monsoon every time our family visits this year?
