ANSWERING A FEW QUESTIONS

Our address here is 2000 Dobson Rd., Orofino, ID 83544. One of our first projects of the summer was to install a mailbox where Dobson Road meets Curfman Road -- about a mile from our house. That's as close as the post office would agree to come. I have a short subscription to The Christian Science Monitor being delivered to this address -- and we get a weekly flyer from Barney's and some of Mike's bicycling catalogs. That's about it -- but we check it daily when we are here.

About "Frog Ranch" -- That's Mike's idea and one that may change. Finding a lasting name for the place seems difficult. The family once called it Rimrock Farm and Daddy had a sign made calling it "Hoot Owl Farm." But the reason Mike calls it Frog Farm is because of the bull frogs at the pond. Mike Lorenz, our contractor, really encouraged us to expand the pond, which we did with a grant through the agricultural service. Then Mike Lorenz planted tadpoles. I don't know how many he put there, but they are prolific now. In June during frog mating season, I thought they would drive me nuts!!!! The constant drone was horrible. We are beginning to consider natural preditors.
