WHAT'S COMING UP THIS WEEK - LILACS AND FROGS

So I spent quite some time trying to figure out where to plant this little white lilac tree that I have in a pot, and finally decided on a little place near the pond. Now, as things are starting to get leaves, etc., I notice that the pond is about half-surrounded by white lilacs. Well, I guess now there are more.

So.

Anyway.

I'd never actually seen frog spawn before. So every day, I've been going out to the pond and peering at it to see if there was any frog spawn. I'd see little bits of pond weed and say, "Mike, do you think that's frog spawn?" and he'd hem and haw and say he wasn't sure.

So yesterday I went out to the pond, and saw what looked like giant fish eggs on the surface of the water. Hard to miss. Now I feel silly.
