Baby and I worked the store on a recent Tuesday with our lovely new hired hand who discovered a toad hiding by the water spout. Of course we had to investigate {particularly since the last time we'd found something in the store yard, it was snails and they got a bit smashed by the baby accidentally so a toad would be a little bit harder for her to smash}.
I held the toad who made a cute little squeaking noise. The baby stared at it silently for several minutes and then seemed to dismiss it as unimpressive and went back to her water cans.
I thought the toad was really cute.
Then we ran around inside the store closing it up and
making faces at Mummy.
We had time to kill waiting for Daddy to come pick us up.
On our usual Thursday schedule the same week with Auntie, we watched as the dark clouds of smoke rolled up the freeway from the big Butte fire. We took several pictures leaving the store, in the market parking lot and near the library.
The sun was pretty impressive once it came out form behind the clouds.
We knew the fire wasn't near us but after our close call with the one practically in our backyard, we were on the alert and watched the news when we got home while texting Daddy to check on him. All was well however. We just had several very smokey days.
