Farkle Sparkle

When my brother was little, he had a pet frog that he found outside and named Farkle Sparkle.

He let Farkle Sparkle go free, but that cute little frog came back to say “Hi” every year.

Yes, every year, Farkle Sparkle came hopping up onto the patio, much to little Brett’s delight.

Well, Farkle Sparkle has found a new home at our house.

That’s right, Adam met Farkle Sparkle for the first time the other day.

And not only did Farkle Sparkle move 15 miles over to my house, but he brought the neighbor’s cat and became a toad, too!

  2. He (Farkle) obviously adores you to take that 15 mile trek to new surroundings. Of course, those are pretty cushy digs in the garden of the lost soles.

  3. You are kidding me! Every year? The same toad? UNBELIEVABLE!

    I can't even believe it. Crazy.

  4. Don't you just love the names kids give things? They usually make great sense.
    This is beautiful. I'm curious about your Garden of the lost Soles.

  5. I would love to hear how he got his name. Wasn't there a cleaning spray with the same one? Too funny. Don't you just love watching kids discover nature?
