    Toads

    They are out in force, we've had a few consecutive days of rain, so it's all about mushrooms and toads right now.

    You got your little ones


    And you got your big ones


    Bring on the toads, we love them. They eat a lot of bugs for us.

    Kiss a toad today!

    Same here. Lots of little ones jumping around the back yard. Funny, I've only seen 1 or 2 in the past 4 years!

      Do lots of toads mean an epidemic of warts? You know the old wives tale . . .

        That's what it is....an old wive's tale, and nothing more. We have a few toads around here every year. They're good at keeping the bugs down.

          Yeah, but think of all the fun you could have trying to get a doctor to explain the connection between toads and human papilloma virus. Especially when the warts are somewhere other than on the hands.

          More information on warts at http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/warts.asp

          Anyway, gotta love those toads.

          Regards, Steve
