Every few days I make another trek out behind our place where there was lots
of areas under 1 - 2' of water in the spring. Most of the water is now
dried up so I keep scooping up the taddies I find and bring them to be
raised in an aquarium out on the deck.

This morning I looked in and on the side of the glass a tiny frog was
climbing. He had a X on his back. Real Cute. Tree frog or spring
peeper????

Found a great frog ID site at

About a month ago I excitedly reported finding
a bunch of tadpoles in my 200 (approx.) gal.
pond. The little suckers are taking forever to
grow but grow they are. Now some of the larger
ones (I'm talking "larger" being around the size
of a Navy bean) have teensy little feet/legs just
behind their large heads. They're SOOO cute!

In a very small "pond" (Sterlite container) in
another part of the yard I found a teensy
frog or toad (fully formed), also about the size
of a Navy bean. I'm guessing that's a different
species than the tadpoles. I moved some of the
tadpoles from the larger pond to the smaller so
I could keep better track of their growth.

Neighbors are having a July 4th party (to which
we're invited) & I'm thinking of inviting some of
the kids (w/ parents attached) over to check
out the minnows, goldfish and gadzillion tadpoles.
Good idea, bad idea?

Happy July 4th to all the Yankees in the ng.
