Photography: Frog or Toad Thingy From The Garden
Posted on April 30, 2008 by Keith Shepard
Every year, my lawn fills to the brim with these small toads. I usually run them over with my lawnmower and then spend half the day cleaning guts and grass out from underneath my mower. However this year I plan to put the thumbless bastards to work in my flower beds and garden keeping stand for bugs. They’re rather friendly and will crawl onto my shoes and sit for a spell.

What great photo’s.
Out of interest, what’s your 24 book project? I’ve only just found your blog
Hey, thank you.
My 24 Books Project is a way to get me to read more books. Last year, I felt I wasn’t reading enough, so I put out a challenge to me: read more books or get rid of your Internet connection.
I have a large pile of very good books that have sat for years. I decided this year, I would make the time to read them by spending less time sifting through magazines or watching television.
Thus I came up with “24 books in 12 months”.
I have been doing fairly well. The books are quite enjoyable. It’s amazing that I forgot how much I enjoy diving into a good book. The best part about this little project is that it has gotten me to break some time wasting habits.
So that’s my little 24 Books Project. Thanks for checking out the blog. Cheers.
Bufo Americanus, the American toad. They should excel at their job. One summer when I was a kid, we had an enormous bufo that came to my parents’ front porch every night and would eat a ridiculous amount of bugs, seriously, probably as much as a pound of bugs. We could not fill that toad up. Plus they will eat pretty much any bug. Basically, toads are great.
