Saving Toads

Every Spring, our neighbors ask us to "save" the toads out of their pool before they open it up for the summer. They would rather pour bleach in the pool than save the toads. So...we go over there several days in a row and catch toads and release them in the garden...

Here is Joe, with our first batch of toads...


And of course, he had to bring one in the house to put in his Toad Hut - which was on the table next to his bed all night!

here they are, putting the toads in the garden, underneath the rhubarb...
