Froggie went a courtin'

Follow the frog, Charleston, SC

I am not tired of the skeleton posts but you may be. Here is a frog post for a change!

Froggie went a-courtin'

Rutledge Ave., Charleston, S.C.

Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride, uh-huh
Frog went a-courtin' and he did ride
With a sword and a pistol by his side, uh-huh.

Well he rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door, uh-huh
He rode right up to Miss Mousey's door
Gave three loud raps and a very big roar, uh-huh.

Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said he, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?" uh-huh
Said, "Miss Mouse, are you within ?"
"Yes, kind sir, I sit and spin," uh-huh.

He took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee, uh-huh
Took Miss Mousey on his knee
Said, "Miss Mousey, will you marry me ?" uh-huh.

Home renovation Charleston style

Rutledge Ave., Charleston, S.C.

Hmmmm......I don't know about you but I suspect this might be an undocumented laborer.  I spotted the green gentleman helping out with yard work on Rutledge Ave. My camera soon got the attention of the cuties below. The new owners are fixing up the beautiful property and said they had plans for more of the frog statues to be in place soon. I will check back!

Okay, kids, it's bright and sunny outside and I need to stretch my legs.

Froggy went a courtin'

Folly Beach Park, Folly Beach, S.C.

There is only one tune that can go along with this picture. Sing it Froggy!

Froggie went a-shopping

Copper Frogs at Freshfields Village, Johns Island, S.C.

I've seen these frog sculptures before but never so many at once. Seems the climate at Freshfields Village on Johns Island encourages breeding. Kinda fun, eh? Nice to think that someone came up with the idea to make quirky frogs and was able to turn it into a successful business.

Copper Frogs: by Charles and Zan Smith of Johns Island, SC
This Father and Son team have been making human size frogs since 1974. These wonderful, whimsical frogs will bring lots of laughter to your home, yard and life. Made of Copper, Brass and Stainless Steel, they will never rust or change in your home or garden. The frogs get the verdigres patina from a special coating to initiate the process. There is an 8 week delivery time on frogs not currently in stock. If you have your own idea for a Special frog, they will be glad to take your idea and make it just for you.
