The Status of the Frogs, Turtles, and Alligators

The frogs, turtles, and alligators have always appeared throughout the house. The plastic ones that used to perch on the CD shelves have been decommissioned, as it were, since the CD shelves have become art shelves. Others have found places to bask in.

1. Alligators and a frog on the windowsills in our bedroom. 2. The woven alligator sits atop a sensor above the bedroom door (a nod to all the “guys” that used to perch above door frames. 3. This guy (a painted and altered seed pod) who used to be on one of the black boxes in our bedroom is in the living room now atop the first CD cabinet. 4. The guitar playing guy also moved from a black box to join the wooden alligator with a broken jaw on top of the living room bookcase. 5. Two carved alligators lying on top of the “new” living room bookshelves (they used to be in the workroom) 6. Transplants from the old CD shelves sit on the “new” CD shelf (it used to be the paperback bookshelf). 7. The alligators with fishes in their mouths from the old CD shelves on the “new” living room bookshelves. 8. Two frogs and a turtle from the CD shelves and the glass turtle that used to be in our bathroom on the second CD cabinet. 9. Two Valentine frogs and a turtle lamp from friend Susan still live on a bedroom dresser.
