We had a terrific thunderstorm over Saturday night, and then, before dawn, a visitor.
Can you tell me, Mr. Toad,
just where do your kind reside
when the waters have not flowed;
just where do you hide?
To the river it's a mile,
up the mesa it's four hundred feet,
so tell me, and we'll share a smile...
just how do we meet?
The Toad, he seems to meet my eyes,
but Ribbit's all he says.
Something 'bout him does look wise,
and as I hold his gaze
I find that there is wonder here
as clouds pass and the stars appear.
Sylvia tried to eat a toad. The toad was offended, and hopped away hissing, and Sylvia figured she'd stick to ice cream.
❤️😊 Thanks for the smiles!
ReplyDeleteWe love Mr. Toad. It's the fourth time this year we've seen him. He was tiny at a time and now he's chunky and strong.
ReplyDeleteLove this.
