Toad for Pansypotter

Fantastic shot Bonkers. Love his green sequines. was he going out?

He looks an old-timer Ray.

Like a grandfather clock Dawn?

Whoo hoo Toto, you are especially witty tonight :-)

Not really Dawn. Have had an especially bad day and am now near to being a little worse for wear.

Wart ? Sorry to hear that Toto - not as pretty as your Kingfisher Dawn , but we love him .

I love him too, warts and all.
What's gone wrong today Toto, enjoy your tipple
Hey you two, take a look at Amy's 'Naked' blog, its quite amazing.

Have done Dawn and think even Toto would struggle to defend the male perspective on that one .. know I have lol

Lol Ray, we'll see what he has to say.

You notice how he says things then disappears Dawn? Like talking to an echo ...clearly that male nurse failing him you had the interview did you ever get fitted for that uniform ?

Yes, I've noticed Ray ... gone, as if by magic.
No, I havent been for the interview yet so I wont get the uniform until I get the job.

Good toad pic, BB.
This one seems to have all the green smarties :o)

I have a baby one in my garden would make a good companion:o))

Dont blame you Dawn .. perhaps we approaching this the wrong way ? Toto was Dorothys dog in Wizard of Oz so maybe we need a scarecrow a lion and a tinman ...Elton John might be able to tempt the male nurse out by singing Goodbye Yellow Brick road then we could sneak in and check hes ok ?

I d offer to play the part of Tinman but when comes to singing could be a bit rusty.

After all that dont ever say dont think about you Toto !

Thanks TT - sorry worried about Toto

Thanks Morgana actually found one tucked behind computer and often squeeze under doors to make thier way in.

Lovely shot Bonkers..............

You're right Ray, Toto was a Cairn terrier. OK, you be the Tinman and I'll be the scarecrow.

Thats it BB looks just like him although I think yours could be Great Grandad, mine's just a chip off the old block! lol

Thanks Milky ..Scarecrow Dawn ? cant imagine you frightening anyone..

Could well be PP when moved in found one in an old ice cream carton with a drop of water in .. the pond must be heaven for him .

You should see me first thing in the morning Ray, lol

~I am sure you look just as good as your avatar!

Mmm dont ge me started Dawn .. you got enough on with Toto lol

Agree Arlene - but remember that nice pic of you in that blue dress too .. oh dear beginning to sound like Toto can feel my pit calling ..night night x

~thanks Ray!That's kind of you!
Are you still as busy now~hasn't the few months of "so called summer?" gone quickly? Getting darker earlier and earlier!
I have so many Niger and Sunflower seedlings in the lawn,pulling them up by the handful ~ that I have had to go out and get trays to fit on the bottom of my feeders~ that seems to be working now and this morning there was a mob of various finches all tucking in,hopefully no mess! Yay!

You could have Paul the gardener as the scarecrow, I could be the witch. or even Dorothy as Its part of my name he he.

Now thats what I call A Toad Near the Hole, what are those green embelishments on Mr Toad? He's a good poser :-)

Brill photo BB...

What a handsome chap BB, he obviously likes your garden.

Nice photo BB.........

Mr. Toad...regaled in duckweed! we're seeing the end of a very strange summer. Lots of toads in the garden (due primarily to the fact that I've not been in the garden much) time to dig and tuck ...lots of stuff to get ready for winter and it won't be long! can't believe it was such a wimp of a summer.

nice pic

Toads, wart an' all are great for the garden and it's lovely to see them around. We haven't any here but had them in our other garden when we lived there. One used to set up residence under the peat bags in the greenhouse.

good pic nice to see them around I have one that lives under a old tree.good for the garden I also have frogs they come out at night and eat all the snails

You may find that the toad will emit some liquid into your hand if picked up but as long as you wash your hands well after handling it's o.k.

did'nt, know that lidak

They do it as a protective measure especially if other animals try to eat them as it doesn't taste nice.

Lovely to see a toad in the garden, havnt seen one for a long time, I expect we wont see any now as the pond has gone ;-(
