"...it is said that a toad is worth twenty dollars a year, and I suppose a frog helps, too. In my garden there are more frogs than toads, as we have a pool, and their evening chorus is such a din I have been expecting the neighbors to complain, but all I have heard them say is they like it."

Tree frog on a crinum leaf
Indeed, creatures do add to a garden, and this little fellow was just as happy as can be perched lazily atop the leaf of a crinum. The observant eyes of Sukey Pratt and Ellen Archer, two of our wonderful garden volunteers, saw this tree frog hanging out in the humid morning air.
Yours in Dirt,
