The little frog

 

 

He leaves.  He comes back.  He’s never gone for long.  But now he’s been gone for over twelve hours.

 

Years ago, in Colorado, we had a cat named Yogi.  She was an indoor/outdoor cat and would come and go whenever she wanted.  Sometimes she would be gone for days at a time and come home smelling of fireplace smoke.  We didn’t have a fireplace.

 

Perhaps our little frog will come home tomorrow, smelling of smoke.
