I got a treat this evening! I went on a walk and saw no less than 3 separate frogs (or toads – I’m not actually sure how to tell the difference; they were in the grass by the sidewalk(s)). The littlest one especially was so cute! hiding next to a fake rock by the play-ground set.

In other news, this was our local squirrel today:

I think this squirrel is actually part dog, the way it likes to plop down on its belly on our deck railing (and dig through my flower pots like they’re sand boxes, complete with dirt going everywhere!).

But fundamentally, squirrels are adorable too, as evidenced by the mini-picnic bench my husband made for it that is now a permanent part of our deck railing.
