Had a visitor this morning as I sat outside having coffee. I gave him a quick lift to a safe spot in the yard.

We used to have thousands of frogs in our neighborhood. When our kids were little the yard would be covered with them at night. Some were as big as your fist, and they were breeding in the ponding basin that is around the corner. Then the city dredged the basin, which decimated the frog population.

Then the drought, and we saw very few frogs after that. Now if you move your garbage cans, roaches are living underneath. That is what was supporting the frog population. Needless to say, I am hoping our wet winter will be the harbinger of a frog renaissance, and the plague of roaches (outside not inside thank god) will be turned back.

Without frogs, the main insect predator is the black widow, which even a spider lover like me is not crazy about.

Enough of my babbling. I hope you all do well today at whatever it is you are doing.

Frogs/Toads are my favorite animals. I saved a big guy from the middle of our street the other night. I’m always like “ok gotta run this guy over to the bushes quick, before he pisses all over me”

Speaking of, feel free to use this Wikipedia article as a litmus test to gauge how you feel on a given day:

Which section you choose to believe will tell you how optimistic you’re feeling.

Toadlets make a great snack for chickens.

That’s probably a toad as it has so short and cute legs. I’m not sure about the exact species. We have also one species of toads living in Finland. They are not very common but you can see them sometimes in forests.
