Visitor

If you follow us on Facebook, you know that Ray had a visitor last night.  A couple of years ago, we had a beautiful garden.  We delighted in lucious tomatoes, tender crisp sweet peas, fresh parsley, green beans, onions and jalapenos.  I wanted so badly for this visitor to take up residence in our garden that I searched high and low for a suitable abode in which he could feel at home.

Alas, Mr. Toad did not see fit to take up residence in our garden, at least not that I ever saw, however last night while mowing, I realized I had a serious little overseer.




He  was clearly not impressed by either Ray or me, and though I admit that if I ever happened to brush against him with a bare toe I would probably scream and flail around like a startled bird, and I have no garden for him to keep watch  over, I hope he'll stay around for awhile.  I kind of like him.

  1. Aww! I thought it might have been a mouse! Luke likes to stalk the mice in our yard. (http://waywarddogs.com/2012/07/23/mousing/) I wish we had some frogs and toads!

  2. I grew up on a farm with plenty of toads and the occasional frog... they are pretty cool but I would probably scream if I touched one unexpectedly! I hope he sticks around for you!

  3. Hehehe, that toad house is perfect! That toad was awfully silly not to stick around. I hope this new little guy does :)
