A break from baking

My family visited my grandparents farm a lot when I was growing up. They lived in Tioga, PA which is about 5 hours upstate of Philadelphia. I used to catch toads on the farm all the time. We would find salamanders, green frogs, spring peepers, minnows, crayfish, brown snakes, all kinds of things. But the toads were always my favorite. So you can imagine how excited I was today when I found this big yellow toad in one of the gardens I am working in. We hung out for a few minutes, I called my sister and texted her some pictures, and then I let him go. He made me smile.

Molly, why did you show me this picture?

Ok so I never do this, I NEVER DO THIS, but it has to be done. I'm doing it... I'm reposting a picture from the internet that has been circulating recently and was one of the top hits when I did a google image search for "cute pig". My friend Molly AKA Mole whipped this picture out of nowhere one day and I was speechless. I am rarely speechless. This picture embodies cute like banana and chocolate embodies delicious, like the Mona Lisa embodies art, and like wearing sweatpants with high heels (Noo Noo Burger reference) embodies New Jersey housewives.

I am not sure who to credit this photo to. I don't know who took it and I'm not sure I could ever find out because it has been reposted over and over again on a million different sites. However, to the photographer I say thank you for the cuteness and also damn you for etching it into my brain for all eternity.

Your welcome people.

Awwwww...

I just found this picture of my mom and grandma baking!! They are so cute. When we go visit, my grandma has usually made a box of betty crocker cookies for us to nibble on. Such a sweet lady.
