Not a plague of anything - maybe an enticement for snakes but these little guys are everywhere.

We are overrun right now with hundreds of these tiny toads. I don't think they are frogs unless they are a variety of tree frog (though most of our tree frogs are bright green). Caught this little guy and put him in a box to take a picture with a quarter for size comparison - none turned out in focus since he was determined to get away! I'd cover him with my hand then pull my hand away and click - so here are the results. The phrase I kept thinking of was "all creatures great and small, our Lord God made them all". Remember the books and tv series about a country vet in England - All Creatures Great and Small? Anyway - this is what is showing up in our rainy land (I know I promised not to mention rain unless we got 6 or 7 inches - and we have passed that this week!).

It is good in Buhlaland - maybe the toads/frogs will eat some of the flies!

Update on the kids

Quick update - Toby Pannone came through surgery and will be in intensive care for a while. Surgeon's report sounded like he tolerated the surgery well and they got all the cancer that they found. Grace's surgery went very well and she is also in recovery. Please continue to pray for these young ones. Thank you

Praying for sick children

www.tobypannone.blogspot.com If anyone is checking my blog - please pray for this child and his family tomorrow (Wednesday the 27Th) as he undergoes massive surgery. Seems to be a day the Lord will have his angels busy in hospitals with children - a beautiful young girl (Grace) is undergoing extensive surgery to correct her scoliosis,also tomorrow. Father God - we ask the mercy and grace of Your Son to be poured out on these, the children you so love. Your love is beyond measurement in the heavens - these little ones need you now. Please give the surgeons and those touching these children discernment of exactly what needs to be done,how to complete the surgeries effectively and efficiently. Please also provide caregivers with great compassion and alertness to react to any changes in the child's situation. Your will be done - on earth as it is in heaven . Isaiah 55:9 - we don't understand, but we know that You are God.

Recycling?

Cleaning off the lights over our garage entrance - it was time to take the bird's nests down. The white interior lining shows even birds like a bit of comfort - that is goat hair lining. Smart little birds. Glad something is making use of all that hair!.
