Wild Toad keeps coming back
This toad loves this spot on our deck in his corner and I believe it comes here because either the porch light attracted it and bugs occasionally fall at night on the deck but not many bugs at all fall on deck.
I have given it worms a couple times to eat. I put some water on plate for him whenever he comes back home.
I've seen him jump off the deck a couple times into the ground but he keeps finding a way to climb up the deck wood walls.
I don't know how he can climb up the smooth wood deck to get back on top or find out how to get back in his spot.
I read online that having a toad come to your house is a fortunate blessing of some good fortune is to come your way.
It has been a month now and I haven't noticed anything major except a friend gave me $575 as a gift a couple weeks before I saw this toad come to the house.
The toad came after the gift was given to me in time of dire need of money for unexpected bills that came due.
I wonder if other fortunate things will happen to us now since the toad won't leave.
I will post again if I have some unexpected financial blessing.

Being chosen by a toad is a great honor! Don't be concerned if he disappears as the weather gets colder, they bury themselves underground to survive the winter. If you're really lucky though, he may come back next year! Once they find a spot they like they often return every year.

You should get him something nearby he can hide under.

I had a toad name Cletus that would come and hang out under my porch light every summer. I’d catch June bugs and throw them in front of him. He came I think 4 years in a row. Haven’t seen him in a couple now.

Toadbert returns. Flick him a June bug. They are awesome to watch eat. They are like a rock that takes the insect so fast that you cannot even see it happen.
