I've been away from here because I have been working on, and updating my new site that will be specifically for English blogs about Japan. Sorry, if there's anyone who likes to actually check up on this site. The site is 
teasmartgarden.com. The name comes from the english translation of 茶利庭->cha ri tei->charity, my first name.
After I got home from work, at 10pm, I was walking down the walkway to the house, and something small moved near me. When I looked, I was delighted to see a toad! When I was a kid, one of my favorite things to do at night would be to find the biggest and smallest toads, and catch them! And now, years later, I see this toad. Of course, the first thing I want to is catch it...but I'm too old for that now, right?
Hahhah, I say! I quickly went into toad-catching mode and got it after the second try (apparently i'm still a bit rusty). It made a muted type of chirping noise, not much appreciating being caught
. Nonetheless, I appreciated how cool the toad looked before I let it hop away to better shelter.
なつかしい～！
And that was my excitement for the day.
