Default tadpole update

Have to agree with Jammer here. We had just one kid over last weekend.
Thought it would make it easy if we said "Please don't step on ANYTHING that
is GREEN!

Didn't work. He did anyway. And that was only one kid. Don't get me
wrong. I like kids and am looking forward to grandchildren some day,
however they are so quick that before you can get one word out of your mouth
they have done something like walk on a new plant or stick arms with fly
spray into your precious water.

Just my opinion.

Have a great weekend.

Do not let the kids know they are there. BAD idea.

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.
