A couple weeks ago I was at my local thrift store and over heard some people making fun of this frog and teasing about who would actually buy it. I passed by and it immediately caught my eye. I giggled because I thought it was totally cool! After the women scoffed when I asked if either of them where going buy it, I scooped it up and put it in my basket and went to the check-out grinning. The pictures may not show it but this toad is quite large- it took up the whole basket. The large plaster amphibian had so much character, the funny smerk and warty texture, I knew with a little TLC, it would be a great spring addition to the yard.
