A couple of weeks ago we saw a frog AND a toad sitting in the same area of the pond--kind of weird. Then I realized the toad was probably laying her eggs in the pond. Never did see any poles tho'. But Miss Toady stays under the big hosta and she has a sister that stays on the front porch hidden during the day and only comes out at night.
DH said the other day that when it was pouring rain the two cats were sitting on a porch bench looking out at the rain. There beside them on the cement was a big toad, sitting looking out in the same direction watching the rain. Wish I could've got a pic!!! None of them was into getting rained on!
