I, too love Toads. And Bats, but mostly from a distance! I wish we had toads. We live on a 7 acre private but urban lake, along with 20 other houses. A little respite from the sirens, traffic and occasional gunfire...yes, this truly is the astonishing way we live in America. Anyhoo, our little lake has “turned over” meaning it no longer supports a lot of the water creatures it used to nourish. It will most likely take decades before this lake becomes a healthy body of water again. And I will either be long gone or in an assisted living facility by then! We still manage to support a few turtles, and I can here a bullfrog every once in awhile. Please don’t filter your thoughts--there are those of us out hear who need to hear them. Cheers to a lovely weekend!
Ah, what a lovely comment. I hope you can make steps to restore your lake a bit. I think nature is more resilient than we think. I read braiding sweetgrass, I’m hopeful

I’m always here for bats and toad worshipping. Also Manx Shearwaters, so please don’t forget.
Thankyou for joining the toad army. I will probably forget to write about the Manx shearwaters, despite paying really quite a lot to go and see them.
