I took the kids up along the side of our new home which is surrounded by a steep-ish hill and we discovered a big wood toad Mikey promptly named " Toady" :-) He turned out to REALLY enjoy being petted and agreed to pose for a few pictures before making his new burrow in my front flower bed :-) I figured a toad dressed up as a turtle for Halloween was very fitting for my upcoming fall art shows :-)
