Go toads. That’s three of us so far. Now I’m wondering: doesn’t _every_ flowerbed have a resident toad? I’ve never had one that didn’t. Maybe they’re seeking me out. 'Cause I _like_ toads. ---

'Cause I _like_ toads. [/QUOTE] Toads were my first answer, and I changed it. Because I never actually have them, even though I want them, because they (and ladybugs) eat the aphids that infest my roses. I should have said “mulch” for #7, too, but I was thinking about the roses because I just tended to them. (Also, I don’t know why I put “impatiens” for #6 – I frikkin hate those damn things.) Maybe I should have thought more about my flower _beds_ and less about my actual flowers. ---

'Cause I _like_ toads. My toads live under the brick that is step up to the back door. (It’s actually a concrete gutterpipe-water catcher, upside down.) Ernie goes absolutely _nuts_ when they come out in the evening to eat the skeeters… ---

Where have all the good toads gone… There were toads a-plenty when I was growing up. We caught them, squealed when they peed on us, and then told each other we’d get warts. Oh the toads I’ve known. But now …nuttin.’ I’ve gardened all my adult life and I don’t think I’ve seen a toad in 30 years. 😕 ---
