Bastard Toadflax - An Interlude






So Dad and Lori and I were cleaning out the cabin's rain gutters when I stuck a barbecue fork into the downspout and pulled out.... a toad!

I was so surprised that I dropped him all the way to the deck--about 11 or 12 feet.

He just sat there, stunned, for most of the afternoon, until later when we found him lounging on a chair cushion.

By then, we had named him Bastard Toadflax, after a wildflower Dad was talking about.

Lori took him over to a flower pot a bit later, and he was still there the next day.

We hope li'l Bastard has found a new home!
