Thank you Sue! Though I equally have times when I put my foot in my mouth…LOL.
I hope the toady likes it too! We recently had the entire yard/gardens redone and I worried about the toad! I told everyone to be on the lookout of him and the work people were actually all very cautious. I was so happy to have him show up the other day but thought about all the other hidey holes that were disrupted. Plus the new garden just calls for whimsical things and since I have no way of getting the 6 foot metal rooster home a little toad house will have to do for now.

The message about your mom was so poignant and well written. I think it probably touched everyone who read it on some visceral level. Thank you for sharing that moment with us.
