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!
