The pond is the place to be. The kids are there at least two or three times during the average day, sometimes watching and other times catching. A forever changing collection of frogs at different stages has been started on the front porch in an aquarium and some buckets. Tiny tadpoles, eggs, large tadpoles and some whose back legs have grown, small frogs and large frogs. Some algae was added, and the marsh plants we were gifted where added too. A collection of field guides (most recently identifying a giant water beetle) and library books in a box has made its home beside the tank. A basket of rags is at the front door, to wipe up the pond water which drips off the nets as they rush in to show me the latest find. How did we do without a pond before?
