Welcome back! Let me introduce you to Philippe! He joined the menegarie when there was Moat Warming and he was a gift from our realtor. He has 3 siblings and love to play a game of ring toss together. They are also FABULOUS dancers in the choppy waters of a lively pool. Philippe and Peggy…
It has come to my attention that there are regular swimmers in the Moat that our readers haven't had the chance to meat yet. Gasp! I have been remiss in my duty of providing pool updates on more than just the frogs, toads, newts and skinks that come to enjoy the Moat. I am pleased…
In an effor to get everyone caught up we'll be posting a couple times a week so get ready for those Frogs and Toads to come your way! I also mentioned there are changes coming to the Moat! The yard is getting expanded and you'll be able to see the updates and the different visitors…
It's been a long tough for everyone even the denizens of the Moat! There's changes happening but don't worry we'll get you caught up on everything! Another summer season is just beginning here at the Moat, Welcome Back!
After the last few months of watching these frogs and toads plop around in my pool, I'm starting to recognize the repeat offenders. Take this guy, I'm pretty sure I've scooped him out a few times. It's a good thing he's cute.

Just a normal day in the moat and I was scooping some leaves off the top of the pool. I didn't even notice this little toad until he hopped right off the leaf and into the water. He blended so perfectly! And fortunately (for me) he was still in the path of my net and…
I caught this friendly little visiter at the bottom of the steps. I tried to get a close photo but he was so small and skittish that I didn't want to et too close to him. He's a beautiful green color, don't you think? I wonder what kind of lizard it is?
Checking on the pool chlorinator I find this guy. I'm not really sure what this little toad was up to. Maybe taking a rest while eating a tasty fly? He was wiping his mouth and digging his back legs in the sand. Post lunch siesta maybe?
it's been a little quiet on the frog front lately but we did have a hurricane blow throw the area. Nothing major but as we were taking care of the menagerie and cushions, we found 2 toads and a frog in the pool. One of the toads was tiny! (Sorry my boyfriend forgot to get…
