Tuesday.


A few minutes ago Ann picked up a plastic jug just outside the back door, and found this young toad sheltering in it.
He was slow, torpid (?), but very much alive. We put him in our garden pond, where the temperature is just above freezing (around 35 degrees, and where we took this photo. Hope he makes it through the winter.

Toady would awooing go,
Whether the weather was freezing or no,
Hey-Ho! Said Anthony Rolly.

Which was clever for a toad, since he knew Froggy's mother was too sensible to let Froggy go awooing in such conditions! We ugly old Toads need to take every advantage over handsome frogs - A-a-a-choo!!
