Sunday, February 19 Home I listened to this song today. “The Frog Prince” from the British band: Keane. This is one of my favorite albums: “Under the Iron Sea.” This song is about staying true and honest… and not fall under appearances and false pretension:
The simple heart will be prized again
A toad will be our king
And ugly ogres are heroes
Your fist at the sky
“Oh why did I rely
On fashions and small fry?”
Feed your people or lose your throne
And forfeit your whole kingdom
I’d sooner lose it than still live in it alone
But the gentle and the mild
Inherit the earth, while
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You’ve wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cause now we all know
Perfume, treasure, sorcery, every trick they know
You will lie in a deep sleep
That’s when
Cracks and falls down
Your castle hollow and cold
You’ve wandered so far
From the person you are
Let go brother, let go
Cause now we all know

And this is the Tadpole Playground!
Thursday, March 29 Public Garden Boston (I know I have seen so many this week! I’m befrogged!) This little boy kindly posed for me:
And as I was coming into our school, I noticed my co-worker’s key chain! Yes! A frog… she said, she loves them and has a collection of them that she will show me sometime!
This are two other Japanese frogs in her key ring that she held for me:
Tuesday, April 3 A baby dropped her hat… and someone put it on the ledge of Trader Joe’s. Brookline, Coolidge Corner.
Saturday April 14, I was listening to M83 and this is about a frog! Home Sweet Home!
These are the Lyrics:
It’s a very tiny frog
But it’s also very special
You can only find it in the jungle
So far away from me
But if you find it and if you touch it
Your world can change forever
You can feel your body changing
And your vision also
And blue becomes red and red becomes blue
And your mommy suddenly becomes your daddy
And everything looks like a giant cupcake
Nothing is ever quite the same really
And after you finish laughing
It’s time to turn into a frog yourself
It’s very funny to be a frog
You can dive into the water
And cross the rivers and the oceans
And you can jump all the time and everywhere
Do you want to play with me?
A whole group of frogs
Jumping into the streets
Jumping into the planet
Climbing up the buildings
Swimming in the lakes and in the bathtubs
We would be hundreds, thousands, millions
The biggest group of friends the world has ever seen
Jumping and laughing forever
It would be great, right?
Sunday, April 16. Unpacking my groceries, I could not believe it when I saw this. So many years shopping there… I had never noticed it!
April 19, 2018 OK…this one is not a finding, I actually was teaching the kids how to make bendable creatures using fasteners. I made the fro as an example:
April 25, 2018 Walking home from school on a rainy day… a frog umbrella!
April 30, 2018
Having breakfast… no way! I have been eating this cereal forever! I never get tired of it… and the same frog from the grocery bag was there… and the milk had one too! It means the packaging is recycled!!! So great!
May 19, 2018 This is another project at school… we are making frogs to hang in a bulletin board in honor of a Science teacher that is retiring. He used to take kids “frogging” which means going to a lake to find frogs! I’ll post the bulletin board when it’s done!






















September 21 This gives me the chills… I have walked for years by these duck statues in the Public Garden. I have seen them with scarfs and hats… but this was the first time I saw them with something else and of all things it could have been…it was frogs!!! I could not believe it then, I still can’t believe it now… Amazing!


October 23, 2018. At my school in Boston. A book I picked up and read during one of my breaks… it’s called Drowned City and it’s about hurricane Katrina and how inept and biased the government of this country was to its citizens that were dying with no help. Shame on you!

October 24, 2018. Brookline. Of all the books it could have been next to…it had to be Sweet Dreams! Seriously?!!! I totally believe in magic!








December 5, 2018. Frog Cushion at the Coolidge Corner Library. North Brookline. This library was just renovated… it’s so beautiful! And it’s not even the main library!
