Magnolia and Mr. Toad
A post about nature deficit disorder at Ramblingwoods.com made me think about ways I could help my little buddy, granddaughter Magnolia, to connect with nature. A couple weeks ago, while we were at Lake Michigan for a family reunion, Magnolia and I would walk around the yard to see what we could find. One day, we discovered a toad living in the pool cover enclosure. We named him Mr. Toad. Anytime we were outside after that, we would go out to gently knock on the enclosure and visit Mr. Toad.

How wonderful. Magnolia is such a pretty name; enjoy her! Glad you have connected on nature and on Mr. Toad especially.
OMG! How cute is that! And what a great opportunity for her to build lifetime memories of time spent with Grandpa!
We have similar themes, this week...:-)
Magnolia ... what a lovely name for a beautiful little girl. How lucky she is to have you for a grandpa! Though I am old, I still remember golden days spent in the garden with my "Poppie."
Hey, cute kid! She is already recounting memories of "knocking" for Mr. Toad....and of course, loved spending time with Mimi and Grandpa.
I noticed that the link to her blog is off.
The link to Magnolia's blog is fixed now.
