A garage visitor!

As JMP left this morning I left the garage door up because I knew Caleb and I would be following behind shortly. As I open the door out to the garage, I hear the rustling of a Walmart sack. (I'd gathered up a bunch yesterday for the recycle bin.) I looked down and look what I saw...........

Can you tell what that is? It looks better enlarged on the screen! Caleb hadn't seen it yet at this point. He knew something was out there though because I kept moving around and was making funny noises. I called JMP, but he wasn't at his desk so I took a picture of the visitor. I told Caleb what it was, which made him scared. There was a long box by the door so I was trying to get the frog moving towards outside. It hopped along and hopped onto one of JMP's boots he wears to mow. Then he called back and I lost it....I thought it was down in the boot. I went outside and looked and he'd already hopped into the driveway. I decided to back up the car so Caleb wouldn't have to go into the garage. He was still scared so I carried him out. We waved good-bye to the frog. We talked about it all morning. He told me about the last time we saw a frog, which was probably a year ago at least. He was looking for it as he cautiously got out of the car. I told him I'm sure it has gone home by now!

I love that kind of visitor. Too bad it made Caleb scared though!
