A day I see a frog or toad is automatically a good day.

I love toads. Soon as I saw the picture I could feel the cool belly when you hold them. So adorable like grumpy old men.

Love your posts so informative and made me laugh. Like King Charles with your thifting haul! 😂 totally me and actually an old crone. Haha Nice reprieve from the day to day chaos.

Your posts are a potent & needed reprieve from the doom much of the rest of my feed fills with. Gardening - helping things grow - is enabling & empowering, isn't it? At least when the deer & bunnies don't mow everything down. Today's task for me is to try to finish the barricade I am trying to erect to keep those two sorts from my garden.

Thank you much for the sweet words! Good luck with your barricade — despite our fence, some tiny bunnies make their way in every year but thankfully they don’t do *too* much damage. KNOCK ON WOOD!

I love toads! I watch for my garden friends every year. It's still a little early here in Northern Maryland, and it's been a cool start to the season, so I haven't seen them yet. I have been serenaded at night a couple times by tree frogs when the temps were in the high 60s.

Yes I’ve only been seeing them recently! We had a late May cold snap for a week so I think they were burrowed under waiting things out. I always love hearing the spring peepers every year — such a hallmark of the changing seasons ☺️

Do toad abodes necessarily have to be made from clay pots? I don't happen to have any right now, but I do have some black plastic pots left over from this spring's planting. I saw one lonely toad last year and none so far this spring. I'd love to after some to my wildlife/pollinator garden.
