First toad of the season

It’s toad season. Neko is beside herself with excitement. Each summer we seem to catch and release the same toads, as we began recognizing certain markings. Our house is a bit like a toad day spa, with fresh water and captive meals. Last summer Leaper and Sweet Pea were our regular visitors.

This is the first toad of the season, and she has been dubbed Philomena by the eight-year-old with an ever-maturing naming strategy.
