I really don't know if the toad is still in there. It's fun watching what mother nature will do next.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05842805733847061155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-23509618830401667162013-06-29T22:09:37.196-05:002013-06-29T22:09:37.196-05:00Jim: not sure about this.

It now is mostly unplugged and I see the toad inside.

Lots of "Hello! Remember me?" I know. I'm nuts! But it is a great sign that the long winter is finally coming to an end!

You should hear me apologize after moving a paving slab and revealing so many spiders, insects, and whatnot. It's amazing I ever get anything done. <br /><br />Jenny: I kept thinking of "toad in the hole" too. Never had it, but will do if I ever visit England!

Years ago, a toad dug its home under the Esperanza shrub. Don't know if male or female, but "it" got named Laverne by my (then) 3 yr old son. sandy lawrencenoreply@blogger.com
