the frogs...

Yep...they are back! ugh!!!

Last year, cleaning out the pool took up many HOURS

and many frogs and tadpoles lost their home...

The frog photos make me cringe - so this one is very small.

Lately, the spring rain is filling up the pool again.
It is time to pump it out again.
I hear the frogs croaking at night...
and see them when I walk by the pool.



See the ripple where it jumped as I walked by the pool this afternoon.

And those dark places at the edge of the water - it's not dirt....


...all those dark specks and clumps are alive.
Hundreds of frogs forming - tadpoles galore!

Anybody want to take up "frog gigging" in my backyard?
Ross is in Germany so he is not here to cook frog legs. ha!
Hopefully it will not have all that stuff when he gets back though...
