Recently, the lovely Jill posted some fun pictures of a toad, called Charming, which lives around their house.Well, it so happens, that I too have such a tenant living on my terrace. I am not calling him Charming though, he is simply called Mr. Toad.
I will have to conclude that he is a perfect tenant. He is quiet, non intrusive and keeps my patio free of annoying insects such as mosquitoes and flies. I see him very rarely; only notice movement between my flowerpots from time to time, or among the plants, when I water them. Sometimes he startles me when he jumps, but all this I accept and find amusing.
The other day Mr. Toad was out and about and almost looked as if he was enjoying the sun. I guess even frogs and toads think we have had enough rain by now.

This toad looks so cute;) your blog is always a treat to read :))
Mr. Toad(or could it be a Ms.?) really does appear to be enjoying the sunshine in your garden.
Please ask Mr. Toad to send some of his friends over to my yard. I have enough mosquitoes for everyone to feast for days.
Mr. of Mrs. Toad looks so cute and comfortable with your garden. You show a great hospitality!
I must say that as toads go, Mr. Toad is a handsome one with distinctive markings and striping. The first photograph makes him look nothing short of regal! Charming also respects our abode and offers no complaints which makes him welcome. We do, however, "save him" from the paws of kitty cats from time to time!!
Hope you are enjoying your visit with your parents!
I like Mr Toad very much - he looks very handsome and distinguished!

Yes, he is SO handsome! He looks like he's posing for his picture to be taken. I love his coloring!
Nice different kind of post from you.
I admire the way you find pleasure in the smallest things. :-)
We had a tremendous amount of rain this past weekend, and on Sunday Emma found a frog in our yard.
Truth be told, I'm not very fond of toads or frogs, even though I do like animals :-O And I don't why. I heard once that they can be poisonous? Perhaps that's why? I'm not sure, but seems that are a good thing to have around for mosquitoes and flies. What would it be good for caterpillars? They are destroying my plants!
Oh, cuteness <3 I want a toad too :P
