Yesterday I was outside for most of the afternoon planting more seeds in the butterfly gardens. I finished up one fence row, and I moved on to start weeding the flower beds by the veggie garden. I was determined to get at least one of the beds planted, so just maybe I’ll get some good bugs to eat those bad ones. I was busy pulling weeds, and not paying too much attention, when I felt something big brush my hand. Immediately I thought it was a spider, and I jumped a bit and looked down to see a little brown toad.

I’m not certain that it is Spencer our beloved toad from last Summer, but this one looks awful close. Thade and Dylan shrieked with excitement when they saw the little toad, and they even got brave and pet him. I had to pick him up and give him a little pet on the sides, he is just to darn cute. I hope that he’ll stick around and take care of some of those bugs in the backyard.
