Remember the Exodus of Israel from Egypt, against Pharaoh's will? G^d, the Deliverer, sent a series of Plagues on Egypt until after the Passover the Pharaoh finally relented. One of those plagues was frogs, frogs everywhere!
This plague came to mind at our new place in early June. We have been almost "over run" by many, many little toads. One of our grandkids caught 33 of them in about 10 minutes. When I was mowing on Wednesday, I tried to avoid them, but suspect several got run over, hopefully to little harm.
I am supposing that the pond we live on is a great breeding ground for toads. We like them, they are fun, and they eat insects. But if all these little toads made it to adulthood, we would have trouble waling through the yard.
If you look closely, you can see two of these little ones below. They are about the size of a pencil eraser.

So, what do you call a Plague you enjoy? A Blessing, I guess.
