Hop Hop Hop

I was taking out the trash, and while opening the back gate I noticed something hopping in the yard. I looked down and spotted a teeny-tiny little-bitty toad. So I scooped it up to bring indoors to show the boys.

This little guy was so stinking cute!

When the boy’s heard that there was a toad, they were picturing Spencer our garden toad of two Summers, they were shocked to see this little guy.

I moved the little toad out to the garden, and I hope he’ll stay close by. If you look super close at the picture, you’ll spot the little guy. I just love garden visitors like this little one.

Down Come The Flowers

0021

This was yesterday, bright, beautiful, 70 degrees, and the sun was shining…

004

The Daffodils were in bloom all the way up to the front steps.

012

But there in the blue skies, was an unhappy sight…

011

That is one big bad snow and ice storm headed our way.

007

The temperature was rapidly dropping, so I went inside to grab my scissors, and cut down the daffodils before the snow got them…

013

I gathered a big bowl, and went out bare-foot, so I could enjoy the cool Spring grass between my toes for just a moment, and I snipped them all. I lost all of my flowers last year to a late snow storm in April, it just made me too sad to see them go again.
