Tonight MIML™ and I managed to catch our 100th canetoad for the year. So we had a bit of a party to celebrate, complete with ribbons and a cup of tea!
Little Dot surveying her kingdom prior to execution… Lucky for her she got a few more minutes outside the freezer so photos could be taken to commemorate the occasion. We are still waiting on the telegram from Regina QEII.
Not sure how many we will catch for the year. I know we tend to get less in the cooler months, but I still wonder if we will reach 500. If we do we will have a huge party with party food- toad in the hole, toad in the pond and no doubt some cocktail invented for the occasion. Suggestions?
Oh and no canetoads were harmed in the filming… But they are in the freezer (or garbage depending on when you are viewing this!) now!

I must say MIML looks a bit melancholy about it all!

Keep up the good work you two

Oops! Thanks Tess! Meant to put the other pic up- changed now! Both pics on flickr!
Wendy- we have a green tree frog that is living in the swing set (that the kids no longer use!) It is awesome seeing it come out each night!
Spotrick- yes, that does sound like a plan!

How about “Toad in the mud” (Kahlua, Milk, maybe malibu, topped with cream and a freddo frog er I mean toad)?
