FROG!
This is all very exciting. I went out to the garden today to start clearing the brambles away from this tiny pond we have out back. It's a little pond of the "water feature" variety, as opposed to the "natural small lake" variety, of course.
After pulling back the blackberries and old grass, I discovered that the little pond is surrounded by the prettiest little violets.
I heard a bit of a plopping sound, but didn't think much of it until a few minutes later, when I noticed THE FROG!
I left a bit of grass and brambles so that Mr. Frog and his friends (I think I saw someone else duck under the water) have somewhere to hide. I'll make sure I plant something non-blackberry later for him to hide in, but until then I don't want him to be too exposed.
How exciting!
Uh, I also made Mike fish out one of his dead friends, which was fairly disgusting. However, the fact remains that we have A FROG.
Frog!

most wondrous! how i love the frogs! this is a good sign, dearie. it means that the people who lived there before you did *not* use an inordinate amount of roundup to do their gardening. this means that your soil (and the water contained within) is healthy.
roundup is the most vile of chemicals.
i am so happy for you!
