  1. Did those toads just find your plants? That’s hilarious. I bet the deer would love to eat your strawberries! That’s a lot of netting. Beautiful sky shots. It reminds me to look up more often.

    1. Yes! The toads randomly appeared. I kept shoo-ing them way and ended up removing the tray/plants. They kept squishing them.

      These two shaded area's are where I acclimate plants outdoors. Apparently this year the toads decided to claim the plants.

      Our conversations revolved around "you know can see you, right" LOL! Not the brightest animals, but harmless and cute.

  4. A lot of gorgeous photos! Your clematis is looking great, and those towering clouds Wow! The toads like moist shaded areas so of course your flower post suited them!
    We dont have horse nettle here, just a plethora of stinging nettle.
