My neighbors must thinking I am off my rocker crazy. I have this problem I love toads & frogs. Not a problem right? Well I don't think so except for when it comes to mowing the lawn. We have a BIG yard almost 6 acres so we have a riding mower and I do the majority of the mowing because my husband isn't home much. If you read any of my blogs I have mentioned before that he is a truck driver so this keeps him away from home alot.
Anyway I enjoy riding the mower it is calming for me to ride around the yard cutting the grass looking at all the wildlife I see. But here's the problem along with having all this property comes lots of toads and frogs. Not a problem for me I think they are just so cute and squishy so while I am mowing away I am also on the look out for them making sure I don't accidentally mow one down. So whenever I see one I stop the mower and try to catch it to move it to a more secure mower free location. The thing is and this is what I mean when I say my neighbors must think I am crazy. Have you ever tried to catch a frog or toad? Well it is sometimes easier said than done.
Sometimes they hop so fast that I am running around in circles trying to get the little buggers. I know if I was in my house or yard watching this chick get off her mower and walk around in circles for a few mins every few feet or so. I would think to myself what the hell is this lady doing has she lost her mind or something? So I just would like to clear the air to all my neighbors I am not I repeat not crazy I am preserving the wildlife here in my yard.All of the toads and frogs in our neighborhood know they are safe here so come one come all to our yard and live a mower free existences.
P.S. I can not vouch for my dog not eating you though. SORRY
Picture sitting on the couch and you hear your cat tearing ass through the house running past you on the couch. He leaps into the air. This is where he lands on the screen door and just hangs there.
