TOAD INSURGENCY

[cicer]

There is a very determined toad outside the garage. He has been furiously attempting to sneak his way inside for the last several nights. We've had to shoo him out repeatedly, and he still keeps trying. When we get him out and shut the garage door, sometimes he flings himself against the door in the mistake belief that he can use his body as a battering ram. It's incredibly cute. I have no idea what he might be looking for out there. We put a little dish of water out in case he was thirsty, but he doesn't seem very interested in it. It's quite warm out, and the outside lights are pretty bright, so I don't think he's attracted to the warmth and brightness in the garage. I can only conclude that he is attempting to invade the home and overthrow us, thereby seizing it for himself. And to think, he looks so harmless.



The funny colored bits on the ground is the water we poured out for him. You can see that he is shunning it as being clearly inferior quality.

Heee, grumpy toad! I come across those occasionally in the garden/shed and they always make me jump when they first move because of the suddenly having to switch my brain from seeing a hard stone thing to seeing a soft leathery alive thing. I like them, though; they're so weird.

They do camouflage awfully well! I saw this guy out on the lawn early this morning and did a doubletake because I couldn't tell if it was him or a rock.
