Saturday was a day of adventure in the garden. I spent most of the day outside raking and sweeping and cleaning up and kept encountering interesting things, like the tiny toad and the giant slugs I found underneath a potted plant. I don't know how that toad even fit underneath the pot, but there he was, and beside him, the two biggest slugs I have ever seen in my life (shudder—now there's a horror movie subject for you, but I bet it's already been done).

For what it's worth, frogs/toads (all toads are frogs; not all frogs are toads) are my latest favorite thing. Better than pigs, even.
We've had many, many of them this year. Later I will photograph the Toad Hole for you! I found a toad, possibly this same guy, coming out of it later the same day. It is charming, and probably decorated inside.
Incidentally, you should send this photo to some of the frog/toad sites. It is far superior to what I normally see there!
