Hoppin' Along

Yesterday, after running an errand I came home and pulled my gas guzzling SUV into the garage. As luck would have it, I happened to have my camera with me and noticed the new little blue buds on the Hydrangea. As I went outside the garage door to take a picture I noticed this little Toad hopping out of the garage. Luckily I didn't run over him!

Did you know Toads live on land while Frogs live in the water?

And here is what I was originally looking at. There are many pinkish-purple Hydrangea flowers this year, but this appears to be the last one to bloom. The two petals that have bloomed so far aren't looking their best. Maybe due to all the rain we've had.
