A Frog Living In A "Toad Home""

  While trying to get the yard back in order after it being totally trashed by construction work, I decided to create a small fountain for the Frog Pond.  A large pottery urn was lugged from the greenhouse and toppled over on its side.  Being as this was a planter, it already had a convenient hole in the back for the hose from the pond filtration system.  The only "construction" was to poke the hose into the back of the urn and then do a bit of strategic placing of plants to hide the works.  The pump worked well so a bit of "landscaping" inside the urn was next.  A goofy lawn ornament or "toad home" (as it is called), some gravel and a few plants rounded out the interior of the urn.  Being satisfied with my efforts, the work soon turned to landscaping the area around the pond and overturned urn/fountain.  All was going well until the rains came and everything came to a screeching halt.  In fact, even the running water in the fountain came to a screeching halt as I forgot to turn on the pump!  

  This morning, a surprise awaited for me at the "fountain".  It seems that once I had vacated the area due to rain, a frog decided that the fountain was its new home.  Instead of being a "toad home", the mushroom shaped ornament is now a "frog home".  My little friend has claimed the overturned urn as its very own house and yard.  Now, how cute is that??  I guess froggies need homes, too.  Hopefully, my sweet friend will not mind a bit of running water in his front yard!
