Finding a Tree Frog & other rainy summer night fun

July 15, 2024 Elizabeth

When it’s a rainy summer night, that’s the perfect time to go out on a toad hunt. Here’s a video Steve took out looking to see who he could find.

Steve also took a bunch of photos of everyone you see in the video and a few others.

During the daytime we saw some other interesting things. Here’s a grasshopper on this plant in one of our porch pots. A plant a friend gave us that I think is tickseed.

She’s adapting to being an only dog and seems to like all the attention now. We’ll see what the future holds. Maybe she’ll stay an only dog in her older years.

Here’s a second video Steve took that evening showing a close up of the tree frog and also the other frog – I think green frog.
