Mary Oliver speaking to me

Earlier this week I was outside pulling some weeds ( yes, on the knee scooter!) at the edge of the flower bed when this toad jumped up on a rock right near where my hand was! Yes, I had a little heart bump moment. I took his photo with the phone and left his weeds there for shade.

This morning I was reading a volume of poems by Mary Oliver, Why I Wake Early, and I came across this poem about a toad!


So there was a blip photo for today!
