I woke to a gentle rain, about 1/4 inch.

I rescued a toad out of the dogs' wading pool. I guess I can't give them credit for problem solving--I've been putting a couple of bricks in the water as a way for critters to get out of the water even if they can't get out of the pool, but this week we've had a gecko drown in a water pan (a dutch oven we found down in the creek when Mudcatter Marion was in town for a visit) and this toad in the pool was in desperate shape when I pulled him out. But then, he might just have been a little stiff because the water cooled overnight.
