Sunflowers and frogs !!!

I couldn't think of anything else to call this post.  It's about sunflowers and frogs so I thought why not call it just that !!!  Anyway, as you know I've been on 'watering' duty this week.  I've done this before but this time the conversation with my aunt and her saying 'we're worried we could lose the sunflowers with this hot weather' kind of scared me.  Great.  That meant I was solely responsible for two big sunflowers.  We've been watering them since Monday night.  They looked okay all week.  We gave them a good soaking again last night but then since the early hours of this morning it's been raining so I think they'll be fine now.  My aunt is back today (probably as I type this she has arrived home) and I'm pleased that I will no longer have such a great responsibility.  How long do sunflowers last for ?   Uh-oh, I hope my aunt isn't going away again any time soon !



They lived !

When we went to do the watering on Tuesday night it was a bit damp.  It had rained a little during the day but not really enough to actually give the plants a good watering.  So while we were there doing the watering we noticed the flowers kept moving.  Then all of a sudden a big frog hopped out.  I think they must've been disturbed by the sprinkler going in their 'house' !  Of course, last night I went back armed with my mobile phone and was ready to take a picture.  There he was again, the big frog, Freddy !  I'm quite sure it was the same one.  Okay so I'm not, I think we saw at least three big frogs while we were there and anything up to 20 baby frogs all hopping around, taking in the damp air and moist grass.  Freddy hopped about and I just said 'please stay still, let me take your picture' and he did.  He was quite obliging.  I'm not sure if he wants a modelling fee for sitting pretty !
