I "toad" you so
"Quickie" post this morning to update one I wrote several weeks ago (when I saw the first toad of the year but couldn't find a photo to go with it). Resolved that small dilemma by snapping one of this fat fellow happily sunning himself on Mother's Day. He appears to have survived the winter exceedingly well, doesn't he?!! Unfortunately, my big guy has probably been forced back into hibernation this week as we've been on a weather roller coaster. The local weatherman summed it up by saying, "It's May, which means it "May" or "May" not be spring!" Hadn't heard that before but it's so true I'm going to have to remember it! If he's accurate, we are going to go from winter like temps to summer starting tomorrow (my toad can resurface). Maybe next year we will have a nice, gentle spring?! Happy Friday!
What a fine fat fellow he is! :) It may or may not be spring here in NS, too -- we've had some lovely weather, followed by cold and windy. Today is back to sun again, so we make hay while it shines, I guess.

Great toad shot! It has been cool and rainy here during the month of May. I'm kind of glad though because I've had a cold and it would be torture to have beautiful weather outside, while I'm stuck inside.

Very handsome toad. Maybe there will be toad babies in your area soon if he can find a lady friend.

Love that Toad!!!

I think that's true Nancy although sometimes it seems like forever waiting for the sun to shine!

That is torture Robin! I hope it's gone soon (your cold). I know I've gotten a lot more work done in May than normal because I haven't been able to be outside. Blessings in disguise I suppose...

Oh, I hope so Jane Marie! I love toad babies, they are so cute! We had quite a few last year, about the size of a quarter, and you always had to watch your step least you squash one.

Me too Elaine!

Ha! Great post name. I also like the may or may not be spring. SO true! I feel your pain. Well, it must be staying chilly so I can enjoy the spring blooms in my old garden once the kids are out of school. Ya, I'll just keep telling myself that! As long as the poor plants don't freeze, that's not asking too much, is it?

I agree, cinj, whatever the weather at least "no more freezing!"
