A Hit and Run

Yesterday I walked out to the dumpster in the front lot and saw a horrible sight.  A hit and run had occurred in my driveway.  My son and his wife use that part of the driveway as do I.  So, I hate to say it, but I could have been the culprit. . . or my son's family, or any person who came to visit or deliver something or. . . Or even me!!

I would have taken a picture to post here on my blog, but it was just too gruesome to post.  I wouldn't want to ruin your day.  That poor little frog (or toad, too smashed to tell) never made it across the driveway.  I am sorry if I depressed any of you but I sure do want you to try hard to have a great day, you hear?

  1. Ribbit, ribbit.... don't feel too bad, Dizzy... those things happen. Truth is, I don't get too upset over these things anymore... saw a 4-5' long black snake when I was out walking today... just hoped that anyone else who saw him saw him as a "good guy". Hey... we do what we can do, and just don't worry about the rest. Life's just too darned short....

    1. I don't feel too bad. I just prefer to live and let live. I am not a vegetarian, so I know something has to die to get the food I like. I use to be a hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed eating what I brought home. Getting too old, no, too lazy to do that now.

  2. You have a Flat Stanley driveway. I found a squashed frog on the road here in the park. I thought, this will be Flat Stanley Road II. I took photos, but decided it WAS a little too gruesome to post. I was surprised to see a frog here, since the water is pretty far away for a frog to travel all the way up to the campground. It was a little one. :(

    1. I guess you are right, a Flat Stanley driveway. You put a big grin on my face, thanks.

  3. They just don't move fast enough. when mowing the lawn here the other day I must have minced up at least a 1/2 dozen. The mower blades have no mercy.

    1. I guess you could say that you used organic fertilizer on the lawn as you mowed it (grin).

  4. That poor critter. Although I have been know to run over one of God's creatures while mowing my lawn. It is totally unintentional as I always try to save a life if possible (except for mice). Hope you gave him a proper burial. :)

    1. Man and his vehicles are the biggest danger to wild life. Kind of reminds me of the song "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road".
