I knew that would get everyone`s attention!!
I have a pond in my backyard. I instigated getting it put in and I take care of it..etc.. I hang bird feeders in the crepe myrtles above it. It is a small pond ( about 5′ x7′ with 3 foot waterfall..) I have been thru hell with it… I killed the first set of koi ( fertilizer run off). Herons and raccoons picked off the second set.. I gave up for awhile and my son and I finally decided to just go with goldfish. They have flourished. We have about 25. Anyway, thru years of the pond experiences there has always been a bullfrog that hangs out ( we named him snoop frog). I have looked every year for tadpoles from the bullfrog. Bullfrog eggs look like beads and lay across the water..really pretty. BUT, the fish will eat them ( nature). I found the tadpoles several weeks back and tried to give them enough plants to hide and several actually made it. I have little tiny baby bullfrogs! I am sure Snoop is a proud daddy 🙂
My happy story for the day!
lol. thanks for the happy story 🙂 can i get high with Snoop Frogg? i could use a joint right about now. but seriously, frogs are my fave. i had a pet toad when i was a kid – his name was Ulysses. it was nice to read this and smile.
How awesome, Bev. Nothing cuter than baby animals. Nature is so amazing. We are like children again when we are open to its wonders.
Bev, Thank you for sharing that!!! I love crepe myrtles and I want to put your pond in my backyard. I too have all kinds of critters especially raccoons and the deer eat everything but I love the deer. That’s what life is all about.
Love, DawnWhat a great story! No pond here, but we have lots of raccoons, possums, and squirrels. In the past we’ve also had foxes and deer in the back yard.
I luvs my wildlife. Got a young raccoon tonight — a little more adolescent than baby.
