Finally, after perhaps an entire week filled with a sweltering sun, yesterday we had rain. Although the air is humid now, the temperature is slightly lower, which makes it all a bit more bearable.
Today, while walking the dogs (photo coming soon), I came across a flattened frog on the road. Flat animals gave me massive trauma when I was little, and this poor frog brought them all back up again. The bastard!
When I was a child I was very curious concerning nature, and would often study the ground to see interesting rocks or twigs or animals. Once, I came across what appeared to me to be wood or a similarly hard material. It had a curious shape and I picked it up to show it to my parents, proudly proclaiming that I had found something which looked funnily similar to a frog! Shock, horror, and tears followed soon after when I was explained it was a frog, just... flat.
This story is nothing compared to the time I discovered a very realistic cardboard rat on the street... Suffice it to say I washed my hands at least ten times within an hour after that encounter.
