I used to have those tree toads at the last house and I brought some along in my pots that I had planted for my new flower beds at this house..I don't see them very often but every once in a while they show up...usually on my siding or in a planter...Sherry

Oh how cute! I haven't seen any tree frogs this year. Come to think of it, I haven't seen ANY frogs this year! Only a couple of toads.

I have one camping under my house shutter. He serenades most loudly, esp. when we have a shower. I love them.

Ribit is about 1/2 inch, and that's about the biggest I have ever seen.

I got the parts I needed for the second rain barrel today. I took the lid off and Ribbit was swimming around in there! I have no idea how he got in either. The inside was sealed off from the outside! Big mystery!
