Frog and Toad (and Snake!)

When I was a kid and learning how to read, my favorite books were the Frog and Toad series. Perhaps this explains why I like frogs and toads so much.



For the last few weeks, a toad and a snake have been hanging around my parent's backyard. My dad has been taking some pictures and emailing them to Jacob and Ben. Today we received another email and found that the toad and snake are not getting along so well. Here is what happened:




Luckily for the toad, the snake is not big enough to get the job done. My parents separated the two of them and hoped that the toad and snake will stay away from each other in the future.

In the Frog and Toad books, Frog is described as easy going and relaxed whereas Toad is usually more serious and is easily irritated. I can certainly see why the toad would be irritated....being eaten by a snake cannot be fun! Meanwhile back at the Snow house, our frog, Steve, lounges poolside!
