There we were. My friend Miss Marie and I talking about my potted geranium outside my front door.

Marie encouraging me to take the plant in for the winter when the time comes. I’ve always admired her geraniums in pots set in wrought iron stands nailed onto the side of her garage. Me a not-so-green thumb wanting to learn how to keep a geranium alive over the cold months to see it bloom again next spring — just like Miss Marie does so very well.

So involved were we in the details of the process that we almost missed the sweet little creature not saying a peep.

But when I all of a sudden spotted him and I squealed with delight! Oh, Mr. Tree Frog, look at you, blending in to the green leave of the plant…. and eavesdropping on our conversation!

Those unexpected moments that lift you onto a cloud and make your heart smile.
