At the end of last week when I left the house to go to town, I noticed tiny frogs jumping all over the next road (we live by a small lake).  There were so many that I didn’t want to drive on the road and backed up and went another way.  Then driving back that night we still saw them hopping all over the road so we moved as many as we could and drove home.   Now this week I see them all over my yard.  The above we collected by walking the yard and by picking up the rocks in the front of the house.   Then we released them in back to what I call my frog rocks.  Any time we see one hopping in the yard now, we just move it back there.   I’ve mentioned it before on here, but I love frogs so it’s fun finding them. 

Update: they are toads.  And there are too many to move, they are everywhere.

This thing landed on me and was in no hurry to go anywhere, no matter how many times I poked at it or examined it (yes, I washed my hands after.)  It looks like a grasshopper, just different than the ones I’ve seen.
