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.

And Palm Trees too.

A sandy beach view from my backyard would be really nice.

I snapped this one in the middle of the day, there was plenty of shade under this big tree.
