More Sandbox surprises...


Pleasant and not-so-pleasant. First, the photo of our froggy visitor. It's blurry, but you can see I was not kidding.

However, yesterday as the kids and their cousins played in the sandbox, we found a dreaded "wet spot." After much smelling, we decided it was cat piss. Of course, we then proceeded to smell cat piss just about everywhere, so who knows. The lid was off only briefly while the box was unattended. But it is a rather luxurious outhouse so.... Emptied (mere hours after fresh sand was put in) and vigorous cleaning will follow soon. We are dismayed.

To top it off, a neighbor kid swears she saw a weasel in our yard the other day. There was a bear in the U. District last night, so a weasel in the 'burbs isn't exactly earth-shattering. But it is weird. Damn aimals. Whose planet do they think this is, anyway??
