It's Toad Heaven Around Here

I guess I never realized that toads live in holes like this


Until this big guy jumped out around my feet.

If you enlarge him, you can see the mud on his hind legs.

    What an ugly, roughy, muddy toad! Is he by himself? Hope he does some good in your garden...:-)

    Sigrun, No toads in Germany? I did not know that.

    Nutbuk, Yes, he sure is an ugly thing, isn't he?

    They really do no harm. They eat the bad bugs,so they are good to have in the garden. :)

    Toad in the Hole -- where have I heard that before? I think it's some kind of British food.

    I almost never see toads in the garden anymore! We have one teeny frog who lives inside our hose reel area.

    He's cool looking! I've only see the little leopard frogs hopping around this year-they won't even go near the pond for some reason.

    I never knew they lived in holes either. Maybe if you kissed him......
