Acckkk... it's a frog in an "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini"...and why you ask? Well, she's a family heirloom. Which will surprise all my family that reads this.
Many years ago, when my mom and step-father lived in South Texas, a friend of my mom's gave her this ceramic frog . Originally "Miss Froggy" was wearing a yellow polka dot bikini, but time and sunshine and age got to her. I "inherited" her and now she's going to go and live in New Mexico with us. If you look closely, you'll see she has acquired the Seattle suntan...green moss - from living outside on our front porch.
In order to prepare MF for her next journey, Gene filled her with concrete and a steel tie wire for some structural strength, as along the way she has also "lost" a couple of parts that glue doesn't seem to hold. Her bikini is faded (no spots) so I will eventually paint some dots on it.... But she will have a place of honor (quit laughing) at our new home.
As Kermit the Frog once said "It's not easy being green".
We have one of these too, but she's been an inside froggie. Her sunglasses are adorned with flowers. I can't remember how she came our way, but she's been around for a very long time. I need to send you a photo of our MF!
