I put off mowing for a single week. One week. Then it rained hard for two weeks solid.

I found Jimmy Hoffa. He's been in Africa all this time.

I know it's difficult to see at first, but imagine these beauties dipped in melted chocolate and decorated with a white frosting swirl. These are peanut butter truffles in their drab larval stages.

Interesting cultural note- almost everyone here turns their nose up at the idea of a peanut butter-chocolate mix. They think it sounds gross. But then I don't think much of that oily pickled green mango-chili chutney they serve.

Also the Honest-to-Goodness true blue KFC at the mall by our house always has a line out the door and around the corner. Go figure.

I know it's difficult to see at first, but look at that black cloud under the surface. They were following each other pointlessly in swirls and billows of slippery black almost-frog. Some caught in the algae at the edge and died there.

I'm nothing like a pollywog. I hope.
