Going on a toad hunt
Going on a toad hunt, going on a toad hunt, one two, hop hop hop, we're going on a toad hunt.
After chili we mowed a bit of the front yard, the looks messy from the street part, and headed off on a toad hunt.
We saw heaps of bubble wrap blowing around from a house where the folks just moved. We shoved it back into the box and continued on. No luck.
We wandered around the entire mile and a third loop to no avail. Then, we heard a frog, a peeper frog. Yippeee. We couldn't actually find him though. A golf cart with five children and no lights had been driving around the neighborhood. Fairhope police really need to take it seriously and impound the thing and perhaps put a restriction on them so that they cannot get their driver licenses until they turn 18 or something.
Anyway another golf cart, this one with lights, was waiting by the side of the road. A man an d his son went to a front door, left a gift bag, and then ran away. The man asked his son if he had rung the doorbell. He said he did. We never saw the front door open. Neither did they. They walked back and i think the man rang the doorbell and then they both ran back toward the golf cart. Meanwhile we're closing in on the frog, but we've not gotten him just yet. Then the golf cart comes round and the lights flash on the grass and we loose our night vision and the frog.
Now, we weren't going to eat the frog, nor were we going to cook him, no no no. We need some more frogs and toads around here for insect porch and deck control. Matte Green Frog after five years is not hanging about anymore. We need more frogs for our nephew, that's our story and we're sticking too it. We need more frogs for amphibiana and that's that.
We walked on, and after going a different road did not find any frogs or toads. I suggested to toad that if he let me get some of the bubble wrap to wrap up some soap (dove green) that my mom likes for silliness in christmas present giving that we could stop our frog hunt for the evening since it was getting, dare i say it, chilly!!!!
So, he relented, we grabbed some wrap, and headed home. Amphibianless, except for us.
Toad called up mom to tell her welcome back, and she told him about a few of the fun things she got to do, and even a fairly good joke.
It's highly unfair she never got to have her pint of guiness, so frog and toad have decided we're going, and taking mom, and that's that. She didn't even have time to get to go shopping, my mom, the shop and shop, and then choose something queen. She was allowed 10 minutes in dublin one day, and 40 another with two people, that's all. She says she's going to stick to her meals on wheels program and no more taking elderly on visits... until she gives in for the next time and takes somebody around to see their relatives before they expire.
