Over the nearly three years I've been blogging I've enjoyed sharing some of the wildlife visitors to my garden under the heading "Garden Visitors" and now I have even more reason to post these photos.
Tina at "My Gardener Says.." has started a new meme as a way of sharing the wildlife we encounter in the garden and she's invited garden bloggers to participate on the first Wednesday of each month. I'll join in as often as I can starting off with a few of our wildlife visitors this year.
We have to watch our step in the gardens lately since these little toads, barely an inch long, are running rampant for the first time in years. I think that's due to several weeks of regular rainfall which has left small pools of water in the creek. They are probably Texas Toads and will provide a natural pest control service the rest of the summer by eating the mosquitoes which are resulting from all this rain. With the local bat population decimated, this is a positive development.
