I have found that this rock (it’s a fake to cover some pipes) at the side of the house seems to be a safe haven (for a bit anyway) for some of the toads in the area. You may remember the big one that I posted a few months back. Well, I have taken to checking under it periodically and occasionally I find a new inhabitant. A month ago it was the toad that you see sitting in the palm of my hand and this morning, look at the teeny tiny toad that was there!
I always wonder where they come from?? They start as tadpoles, but where? It is too blasted hot for any pools of water to stick around too long and how do they always seem to find my rock? Where do they disappear too when I can’t find them any longer? (Although I did spot some roadkill a couple of streets over that looked vaguely familiar – was it my toad?) Sad day!! (to quote Chelcie)
We’ll see how long this little guy sticks around.
