Morning Surprise!

Source: We Heart It

Frog?…

Toad?…

I know not which

Not being versed in

the difference

 

Regardless..

This tiny creature was in

the outside water bowl

this morning

The bowl I keep at 

my backdoor for thirsty

neighborhood critters

 

It has been decades

since I have seen one

Decades…

since I lived far North

of where I now am

and a family of three

lived in the sand

around my front porch

 

Making their classic

sounds and catching

flies and dreaded

mosquitoes

Burrowing deep in

the sand to escape

the heat of the day 

to come out at 

twilight and grace

me their presence

 

A morning surprise…

Does this mean the

drought is ending?

Hopefully, this little

swimmer will not be 

a tasty snack for

a hungry barncat!
