It’s free until Nov 1. I’ve narrowed it down to these two. Heron or frog? ---

Heron. Frog pic is portrait & cards are landscape; you’ll need to crop that one a lot to make it fit. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > Heron. Frog pic is portrait & cards are landscape; you’ll need to crop that one a lot to make it fit. Good point. I would want to cut out a lot of the background of the frog pic anyway. The heron, I lucked out on that pic, it only took two tries to get him in that pose. ---

I’d go with the heron. Heron eats frog. I did not have to get stuck at the doctor’s. That will happen in January. I celebrated by getting a Reuben at the [Good Sub Place](http://www.twoguyshoagies.com/). My German side wanted more sauerkraut. It’s a wild windy day. I’m going out in it. ---

I was hopin’ for _Gaudy Anna_ so we could shorten it to **Gaudy**. 😃 **sari** I’m torn. The heron is uber jake, but I have a weakness for frawgs. Froggie looks like it’s meditatin’. This is a hard decision to make. Glad you didn’t get vampired **Spaz**. The biiiiiiiiiiiiiig rain lasted all of thirty minutes. It’s all sunny out right now. :rolleyes: ---

So much blurf, and so much achy-breaky! Opening day of Faire was a scorcher. It was so bad that patrons were dropping in line to get in, as well as inside, and even veteran performers were going down. I’ve been doing this long enough that I was able to recognize the early signs of “Hey, I need to go backstage and cool off” before becoming another statistic. Fortunately, Sunday was a touch cooler and we didn’t have many, if any heat-related emergencies. Weather for this coming weekend will be about 20 degrees cooler. Much better! ---

Yes. **freebie**. here’s my daily blurf **BLURF** Rules Yumful recipes must be shared for inclusion in the recipe blog I had another one as I was reading but by the time I posted I losted it. I like the frog - can you cut him out and paste him on the heron pic? ---
