I try to get in the garden every other day, just to keep on top of picking beans (remind me next year to only plant half as many!). When I was in there the other day, I got a little surprise!
He’s a Grey Tree Frog (Despite the name, they are sometimes green). He was just hanging out on a bean leaf, chill as can be.
I mentioned, Dave and the new neighbour had spent a weekend cutting down the trees on the property line to put up a fence to keep Loki in. I suspect this little guy got displaced from one of the trees – because it’s not common to spot them this time of year – especially anywhere outside of a tree.
I’ve only ever seen one one other time – and I was maybe eight years old.
While he probably wasn’t planning on moving into the beans, for the time being, it was probably a pretty good place to hang out and catch bugs. Eventually he got annoyed with me moving the plants around, harvesting beans, and he hopped away. I hope he was able to find a better home.

What a handsome guy! Thanks for ‘catching’ him for us to see!

How fun! I’ve never seen a tree frog before. I’m jealous of all of the green beans you have. That’s the biggest thing I miss from not having a garden.
Blessings,
Betsy

We had (unseen, but heard) a tree frog near our patio. They can be very loud! And, they can make a mess (they poop all over my brother-in-law’s deck in VA). Your guy is pretty cute.

Back when our kids were little they used to look for tadpoles, but the gullies were filled in, and the future frogs were no more. Lately the only animals we’ve had in our yard are raccoons. They sure are good at doing damage!

He looks like he’s seen some things. Cutting down trees does lead to some unexpected consequences. When my neighbor cut down hers she left our driveway in the baking sun. No fun there in the summer.
