   The question of frog or toad, toad or frog has been solved. Liz suggested that I use google. I did and this is what came up. I thought for sure the one below was a frog, I was wrong, it is a toad.  A Fowler toad. The one in the next pic is also a toad. An American Toad. I have no clue why I did not  google before Liz suggested, cause I google everything else. Esp. my flowers and plants. But Liz, I did not turn  each frog over and photograph the lower area and google it to  see if it would tell me if it was a male or female! 😁 The TOAD in the first pic surprised me as I cut the yard on Saturday. I was cutting around my crepe myrtle and out it came, it had been vegging under the bush on  the side of the yard.  Then Sunday while weeding the darker dude jumped out from behind a flower pot. I nicked him cause he  had a little blood on his head. I  went back a few house later to check on him and he was still there, I could not tell if he w...

Granddaddy, Elkins, Voliet, Meek, Legion, Up Coming Trip

 My granddaddy. He has been gone many, many years now. But, I still remember  him just like it was yesterday. This is my mom's dad. I took this pic with my camera,  I told you all before, I always had a camera. It was taken in  grandma and granddaddy's living room on one of our visits to Georgia. My granddaddy was a man of  very few words but I will never forget me sleeping on the couch in  the den, next to the kitchen when we visited. Graddaddy would come in after work and while he warmed his meal that granny left in the stove for  him he would sing to me, "Hey,  hey, good looking, what cha got cooking"?   He also called me string bean. Now, I finished out growing at 5'2, like in the 6th grade and that is exactly where I stayed. For a 6th grade girl though, I was considered tall.

Morning, King of the Yard, He/she/frog/Toad, Door Decor, Goat Kisses, and Sunflowers

Image
  Friday morning was a great morning. Started it out on  the deck, coffee, the girls, the birds  signing, cool temps that remained all day, the sound on my wagon water pond and it was not raining. shot down to the wagon. You can tell that I still have a ways to go with that rock, but I will get there. Here are the birds that sang to me Friday morning,  or talked to other winged critters in the woods. Speaking of woods, the squirrels have stayed within the safety of  those trees since I moved here. But as soon as I moved that bird feeder to the backyard, here they came.  Along with the chipmuck and the ground hog, both of which I have not seen in  a week....YAY. But when I walked out on  the deck Friday morning with  my coffee, this is the site that awaited me.  Little shit sitting up there like the king of the backyard. Of course, he was just sitting there to let his food settle before he went back down to try out some more food. Now, I ...
