Many times they scare me, because I'll be working away in the garden and I didn't notice one all hunkered down in the soil and/or mulch until it hops away.Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-76876210106140886992009-07-28T08:01:17.229-04:002009-07-28T08:01:17.229-04:00Ha Xuan - The toads here do not make noise.

In our legend, whenever we hear their cries, it will rain. And they are pretty accurate. So, they serve as our weather forecast-er!<br />Some nuisance they cause, though, that they would dump annoying black waste on our porches during Hà Xuânhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757459921320531368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-79006105686345543142009-07-26T19:17:11.863-04:002009-07-26T19:17:11.863-04:00Amy, some of the toads around here do that...they ...Amy, some of the toads around here do that...they find a shaded corner of concrete and settle in during the early morning, sort of sitting on a cool patch of dew. They stay in that spot all day unless I accidentally startle them away.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196958089933062632.post-88860296843333789932009-07-26T17:09:53.581-04:002009-07-26T17:09:53.581-04:00Congrats on finding the yorkie a home!
I (well,...Congrats on finding the yorkie a home! <br /><br />I (well, actually the cat) found a toad today by the front steps. I moved him to underneath the lilac bush where it was cooler than on the concrete (he was huddled behind some perennials). I saw one out between the yards last year, I was pretty surprised to see a toad out here in such a dry area.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.com
