Be thankful it is a small frog, and you saw him before he jumped on you. We have large toads around here - as big as my fist. They love the little ponds and hide in the gardens. I don't usually mind them because they do consume quite a few creepy crawlies.

Yesterday, I was watering in my husband's hydroponic greenhouse. I dropped an empty pot and bent over to pick it up from under the bench. A toad as big as a breadbox - well maybe not quite that large, but it sure seemed like it at the time - leaped onto my hand. I jerked back quickly and whacked my head on the bench. I've been told I have a hard head, and I guess it's true. When I recovered enough to look at what "attacked" me, I saw the toad sitting happily in the pot.

Mr. Toad can stay in the greenhouse. I'll just be a bit more careful and look before I stick my hand somewhere.
