We walked even earlier this morning. Even so, that air was thick and still. The dogs were giddy when we started but their enthusiasm waned after the first lap.
Jilda and I pushed on and got a head start on our daily exercise goals.
After we finished, Jilda went inside to make us protein shake with blueberries, and too many other ingredients to name.
I went out to feed the chickens and give them fresh water. The last chore was to fill the backyard containers for the birds and bees.
When I flipped over the watering dish, a small frog hopped onto my shoe. I wasn't expecting it and almost had a hygiene issue. When I lifted the dish a little higher to was out some grass and dead leaves, I noticed another amphibian except this one was incognito.
It blended in so well with the earth, dead grass, and leaves that I almost missed him (or her.)
Not much else to report from the homefront - Take it away, maestro.

Stay cool, and safe. And thank you for providing sustenance for the critters.
ReplyDeleteOnce in Vermont on the AT I was so intent on shooting a pic of a toad I did not see a girl hike right up and stand there. Sherry had stepped tight over the toad and did not see it it had blended in so well. Nature is a surprise.

I see mr. Toad and have a feeling he wanted to go for a ride on your shoe.

ReplyDeleteHe is a good hider. We have a lot of toads this year.
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to find it
ReplyDeleteIt is years since I saw a toad.... my fault for moving to a house without a pond.
